"Blood is inherited and virtue is acquired, and virtue in itself has a value that blood lacks."
-- Don Quixote
Jiden Armstrong has lost nearly everything.
Her home world and most of its people have been captured by alien invaders. All too many of the cadets and personnel she served with have been killed in the defense of their planet. The Century Planetary Militia's starships and fighters thrown away by Admiral Drien to cover his cowardly retreat.
All that is left is a meager inheritance for the survivors: a handful of ships, off-world accounts, and refugees willing to give all they have to save their homeworld. Multiple factions of survivors compete to control those resources. Some, like Jiden's grandmother, want to build up a force to liberate their planet. Others, like Admiral Drien, want to gain the support of a stronger power and let others do the bleeding to save Century.
Jiden, as before, is in the middle of it all. She will have to manage meager resources while she trains up new recruits to save Century. Because whether they can acquire more resources or not, the Centurions are going to save their people. Jiden knows that in the end: all the wealth and power of Century doesn't matter; the true inheritance of Century is the willingness to shed blood to save it.
