I am Rhys Calder. Once a commander of Erebus-1’s Citadel Guard—now captain of a rusted freighter crawling the edges of forgotten space. They branded me a traitor, buried the truth, and sent me to die in the dark. But I lived. I learned. And I never forgot the faces that turned away when the noose tightened. One of them still haunts me—worse than the cold. I’m not here for revenge. I’m here for the truth… and I won’t leave without it.
