Two peoples. One world that belongs to neither of them. And a peace that could shatter at any moment.
After betrayal, mutiny and a broken alliance, the survivors face a new beginning - far from their dying homeland, on a world that was never meant for them. Yet even light-years away, the past refuses to loosen its grip.
Two species are meant to build a shared future here. But coexistence is no gift - it is a struggle. Mistrust smoulders, old wounds stay open, new structures of power take shape. And as hidden forces work to unbalance a fragile equilibrium, one question hangs in the air: was the price both paid the dawn of a better world - or merely the prelude to a greater conflict?
What if peace is more dangerous than war?
