But they are not the only parties interested in Acreon: the Council of Seven has despatched an elite team of Enforcers led by Lieutenant Commander Roca to investigate. Why has Acreon been targeted by the Veer-myn? Who is paying for its defense? And what secrets are hidden beneath the planet’s surface that, if uncovered, could threaten the stability of the galaxy itself?
