Cosmic Dust

Sometimes home isn’t a planet, a building, or a ship.

Sometimes home is just the people you belong with in a galaxy full of threats.

Amaya, Ghazi, and Tetsu grew up on the most dangerous planet in the galaxy and despite all the odds, they escaped. Together they made their way out into the stars, found work as mercenaries, and have been living job to job trying to save up for their own ship.

That home among the stars is almost within reach, their own tiny piece of freedom and solitude at hand. But will they be able to hang on to it? More importantly, will they be able to hang on to each other when the threat of death seems to be around every corner?
