A Dominion War veteran and a Breen walk into a bar…it was a tale that could never have charted an easy course. Oh, both had made a degree of effort in their own, belligerent way. But Kodek Vonn and Zachariah Cobb were never going to become the best of dutiful friends. Still, in the days that followed the departure of the former RTF Chief, the Leviathan’s captain was surprised to find himself missing this noble adversary.

And nowehere was his absence more evident than within the RTF. Without a leader, this team of highly trained officers were cast adrift. And at a time when the Leviathan herself was cut off from central command and left to fend entirely for themselves. Cobb knew that no reinforcements marched on the horizon. If Kodek Vonn was to be replaced, then they would come from the vessel’s current crew. And for Zachariah, only one name seemed more than up to the task.
