Launch beside Ren and Tavi’s Copper Kite. Steer the departure lane, then boost to catch a dispatch skiff that was told to turn.
Chapter 1
The Wrong Order
On your first independent flight, a trusted beacon sends a friend’s ship into an ambush. You learn the helm by keeping people alive—not by running errands until the plot arrives.
Friendly colors open gunports. Cover the Kite’s launch, fight or use cover, and bring six crew home.
Harbor reunion, a combined repair, and a first refit. Astra seals the recorder. Mira asks you to carry a copy.
Take that copy to Meridian. Survive the interception. Meet Yuna with a question the beacons will not answer.
