Thirty years after humanity fled a dying Earth, the settlers of Luminar III are finally beginning to thrive on their new, mystical home.

However, the scars of Earth’s fall and the dangers of an uncharted planet still loom large.
Ari and her team—second-generation warriors of the colony—are among those tasked with safeguarding humanity’s fragile future. Together with her loyal and brilliant teammates, Ray, Tala, and Keon, she navigates rivalries, personal struggles, and the ever-looming threat of alien aggression. Bound by their shared duty but fractured by old grudges, the team faces their greatest test yet when the Onyx Consortium, a powerful alien faction, begins probing the colony’s defences                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
Amidst growing tensions within the Council and escalating attacks, Ari’s leadership is challenged not only by the ruthless Consortium but also by her rivals, Ren and his elite Sentinels.
