Noah Von Sterne and his family have spent decades running an interstellar shipping and manufacturing hub on Nonorel V — an inhospitable planet at the edge of Lyran space, but functional enough to serve its purpose.

What caused the disaster? What will become of his family? Does he have what it takes to fix this? Or is it already too late?
