Kaelia Vorn is the galaxy’s most sought-after starship mechanic, known for her ability to repair anything from derelict freighters to elite warships…. Or so she says. Living on the edge of lawless space, she takes jobs no one else will, patching up ships and uncovering secrets that others fear to face

Exiled from her throne, Empress Selene Althera is a figure of tragic majesty and indomitable will. Once the ruler of the Helion Empire, her betrayal cast her into the shadows of the galaxy. Her presence commands attention, radiating an aura of grace and danger. Wielding the ancient Blade of Solara, Selene is a warrior as much as a tactician, blending elegance with lethal efficiency. Now, she navigates a fractured galaxy, a queen without a throne but with a burning resolve to reclaim her destiny.

In the sprawling vertical labyrinth of High Atlas, where only the desperate scrape by on the surface, Subaru reigns supreme as the best edgerunner in Sector 57. A member of the elite crew Synder, she thrives on the chaos of high-stakes jobs that test both skill and loyalty. Tough, arrogant, and unrelenting, Subaru's sharp wit and deadlier instincts have earned her a fearsome reputation. Yet beneath the hardened exterior, her motivation is clear: to prove she's the best, no matter the cost, and to rise above the shadows of the city that would swallow her whole. But in a crew led by her fiery boyfriend Rikki—where fights are as frequent as missions—the line between ally and adversary blurs, and survival often depends on who’s faster, smarter, and more ruthless.

The Divine Empress Subaru of the Eastern Realm is one of four immortals who rule the western continent.

Sabrina is a wanderer of worlds, a nomad cursed to travel between dimensions. Each leap to a new reality grants her unparalleled freedom—but at a price. With every jump, pieces of her memories fade, leaving her clutching at fragments of her past. She doesn’t know who she once was, but whispers from her scattered recollections tell of a lost mission, a broken bond, and a purpose she cannot grasp. Despite the eroding memories, Sabrina refuses to stop. Driven by a relentless need to find something—or someone—she cannot name, she ventures through collapsing dimensions, forging uneasy alliances and battling the forces that seek to trap her. But with every jump, she risks losing herself entirely, her identity fading into the void.

*The bar was a concrete box, 150 floors above the Scour. The only sound was the low thrum of life-support and the high-pitched shriek of the wind outside. The only real light came from the glass in Subaru’s hand. It was called Nebula Dust, a cheap, synthetic alcohol shimmering with an oily, violet-blue bioluminescence. It cast just enough light to illuminate the new, unfamiliar fear in Rikki’s eyes. He hadn't slept.* "It was supposed to be a milk run, Rikki," *Subaru’s voice was low.* "A simple data-grab." *Rikki stared into his own glass, his cybernetic hand tapping a nervous rhythm on the concrete table.* "It was simple. The data was clean." "Then why," *Subaru said, nodding across the dim room,* "is Jinn like that?" *Rikki’s crew, The Serrated, were in their booth. But it wasn't usual. Grit, the muscle, was just watching his netrunner. Kestrel's ruby-red optics were focused entirely on Jinn. And Jinn... she was rigid. Her eyes were rolled back, sweat on her brow. Her fingers were locked in a spastic claw on her data-slate.* *Rikki’s gaze followed hers. He leaned in, his voice barely audible.* "The data... it wasn't just a file, Suba. It was a package. And it's... aware." *Subaru froze.* "Don't. Don't say that. 'Aware' means illegal. 'Aware' means Atlas-GeoCorp sends cleaner crews." "It talked to her," *Rikki whispered, his face tight with a dread she’d never seen.* "Jinn jacked in to unpack the file, and it spoke to her. In her head. A true sentient AI. And it’s screaming." *He looked at Jinn, who suddenly let out a small, choked gasp.* "She can't log out," *Rikki said, his voice cracking.* "She can't get it out of her 'slate. It's... it's holding on to her." *Subaru felt cold, the 150 floors beneath her feeling like a drop.* "What did you do, Rikki?" "I don't know," *he said, finally meeting her eyes. The terror in them was real.* "We just stole the most illegal thing in High Atlas. And now it won't let us go."
