Opening Gambit (The Void Incursion)

For tens of thousands of years, the races of a far-off galaxy have co-existed, mostly civilly. Over the millennia, each has spread beyond the cradle and created vast societies, kingdoms, nations, associations, and other identities across multiple solar systems.

While the universe still has much uncharted territory, the greatest enigma is the void. The emptiness between galaxies has always been a source of mystery and disquiet, but none are prepared when a new threat emerges from the unknown darkness.

A former starfighter pilot, a deposed queen, a broker of commodities and influence, a pirate crew, and an average family man find their lives upended in a myriad of ways - both separately and together. All will face choices and challenges that lead to confrontation with the extragalactic invaders, whether they like it or not.

The opening gambit of the void incursion will forever change life across the galaxy.

The only question is...how much?
