THE STORY

The Blackstone Fortress is a haven for those seeking fame, glory and power amongst the horrors of the galaxy. To many, it is a treasure trove beyond imagination, to others, it is an escape from their past, a chance to put their skills to use on the edge of the galaxy far from prying eyes. Brakus Andradus is the latter. A former sniper in the Astra Militarum, now a deserter aiming to drown his memories, Brakus stumbles from job to job. But, after a deadly plague breaks out following his last expedition and threatens to wipe out the denizens of Precipice, the sniper is forced back into the Fortress in search of a cure, with only the slimmest hope of finding one.
