A distress call is swallowed by the void, but not before a few curious souls hear it.

As the Arcadius Fleet continues its voyage, Silver Wing Commander Kyle Jones isn't the only one asking questions about the silence following the mayday. Those raised by the rebellion know better than to accept the lie being fed to them, so they begin to dig. They sense a conspiracy, a truth buried deep, and they're determined to unearth it.

As they delve into the shadows, their clandestine investigation becomes a race against time. They don't need much to rekindle the rebellion, but they have to move quickly if they wish to find the truth.

Will they succeed, or will they be silenced by those still loyal to the empire?
