Shades of the Past

The Phoenix Initiative is over, and war is on the horizon. Nigel Shirazi, Speaker for the Mercenary Guild, has prepared the guild as best he can, but there was no way for him to plan for the events that are unfolding. An ancient enemy has emerged from the depths of the galactic past, with weapons and strategies unseen since the Great Galactic War. The Kahraman of old are back, and they’ve had five years to fortify their position in the Seeleth system. The Horsemen—along with the rest of the Mercenary Guild—are ready to ride, but when Nigel needs to know more, he turns to Colby’s Killers, the company with over a hundred years of fighting on Battle World, to get it for him. Faced with the unknown, though, will they be up to the task? The Kahraman have spent their time preparing, and they have daunting weapons, both mechanical and biological, that haven’t been seen in 20,000 years. Has the Phoenix Initiative given the Mercenary Guild the forces needed to triumph over this threat from the past, or will Seeleth be the beginning of the end for the Galactic Union? The fight for the galaxy’s future begins... now!
