The legacy of Xanthe Coustoe lives on in the regenerating world five years on, though she herself is still missing. The J'Sapa begin to uninstall themselves from the Earth Government, believing humanity may be able to re-establish its original philosophies set out after World War III. However, there is still great political unrest at ground level, including an Earth League Isolationist Fleet, recruiting only able-bodied humans and - through necessity only - limited clone bloodlines.

Following intelligence received by a deeply-traumatised Xanthe, the Military send a small team - joined by Major Clara Ridgely, Amarie Pemberton and Charlie Hayes - to infiltrate a huge base of operations, apparently developed by the Human hand on an island of the J'Sapa Home World. In the meantime, Earth Battle Cruisers - with Human, Clone, Droid and J'Sapa representation - stand ready to launch an attack on the fortress.

Ultimately, will humans ever be trusted to govern their own affairs once more?
