All signs point to a looming invasion. The Edxi, an intelligent insect race, will lead the charge as they attempt to take the Tamber moon and the worlds around it to hatch their broods and create a new strategic foothold in the Milky Way. The entire fleet is rushing to make last minute preparations as Alice is forced to take a short relaxation leave to recover from recent events.

Loyalties and the resolve of the heroes who have made it this far will be tested along with their defences as everyone's nightmares try to become reality. Will they be ready?
