You are a one-time rising star in the Galactic Terran Alliance fighter corps, but recent events have left you assigned to a washed-up patrol squadron, the 508th Loaded Dice. It's a transitional time for the galaxy. The Hammer of Light terrorists remain active, but their attacks have become few and far between. The Parliamentary Vasudan Navy has consolidated its government in Aldebaran, and while they continue to honor the cease-fire, rumors of dissent in Parliament are growing. The Antares Federation remain committed to independence, and have closed their borders to focus on internal affairs. Several human expeditions have scattered to the outer reaches of known space in search of a fresh start, free from the oversight of the failing GTA. As a gesture of goodwill, the Loaded Dice are deployed to provide security in the distant Luyten system, but secret objectives threaten to undermine the entire expedition.
