A silent war is raging through the far reaches of Fringe Space. Vying for territory and precious resources, the Niiosian Mob—governed by the calculating Tobias Niio—prepares for a showdown with the Ibarra Cartel and its ambitious leader, Alastair Manes.

After reuniting with Ziva Payvan and escaping the Ibarra-controlled world of Panuco, the Alpha team is faced with choosing a side in the ongoing battle between the two galactic criminals. But nothing is ever as simple as it seems, and an offer to help tilt the odds in the Niiosians’ favor draws them deeper into the conflict than they ever anticipated. With little faith in their tenuous alliance, they must stand together in order to protect both themselves and each other.

Meanwhile, haunted by the events of the past four years, Ziva is put to the ultimate test as she confronts the inner demons that threaten to consume her. With Aroska and her old team at her side, she must fight to regain control of her life and put an end to the struggle between Ibarra and Niio…which may just free her from her personal battles as well.
