In the year 2191, humanity has spread across the galaxy in a rush of colonization, leaving behind Earth's overcrowded bases for the promise of frontier worlds. This expansion brought prosperity but also conflict, prompting the formation of the Interplanetary Corps as a galactic peacekeeping force. Elite IPC patrol officers Johnson and Stone are returning from a routine six-month assignment in the remote outer rim when they receive unexpected orders to investigate ISRC-4, a Federation space station in the Intex network that has gone silent. Docking their ion-drive vessel at the massive station orbiting the gas giant Gianor, the two officers find an eerie calm—magnetic disturbances could explain the communication blackout, but something feels decidedly wrong. As they prepare to disembark and uncover what has happened to the station and its crew, they have no idea that this routine distress call will plunge them into something far more sinister than a simple technical malfunction.
