While they had been brought many times to the brink of epic disaster, during their seemingly never-ending ...

The Aunare don't understand what SpaceTech is capable of.

I’m a trained cadet at the Warrior Academy on Haden. I’m female Hoganthan and full of feline ferocity. My squad and I are stretched to the limit, but will NOT. . . ever. . . opt out.
