Space Freighter Neo Eden

Captain Loos Aucoin, born and raised on a space station, enjoys his time away from the ship on Earth in the beautiful. semi-tropical wetlands of South Louisiana. His vacation time over, he is on his way back to work when he meets his newly acquired Security Chief for the first time: Shimmerah “Shim” Fortier, a beautiful dark-skinned woman from New Orleans on her way to the space freighter for her first assignment.
Aboard the ship, one of Shim’s team members immediately begins making trouble, thinking he had earned the position of Security Chief--not someone who has ‘slept her way to the top’.
And…as if the ship’s business of transporting expensive merchandise across a hostile galaxy wasn’t perilous enough, their home office, GIT, fraught with office politics, has sent them on their journey with dangerously shoddy equipment.
The supply vessel, Intrepid, with its 25 souls on board has barely gotten underway when they encounter a ‘surprise’, almost destroying their mission and their lives. The crew’s comfortable workaday schedule has suddenly evolved into a dangerous pursuit fraught with pirates looking to take advantage of lone trade vessels isolated in deep space.
