With their puppet race ‘The Others’ defeated, and imprisoned on a world surrounded by warships and heavily armed orbital fortresses, the ruthless regime of the Saiph are forced to face the combined might of the Commonwealth Union of Planets.
Meanwhile, the Empire of Alona has secretly grown its forces and, in a twist of fate, made an unlikely ally in its race for military supremacy which soon becomes moot when they discover themselves to be pawns in an even greater game.
And, finally, the utterly belligerent Turak. Friend to none. Potential enemy to all. Who knows what part they will play in this violent struggle for survival?
What shall be the Legacy of the Saiph?

FORAM SYSTEM | THIRTY-SIX LIGHT-YEARS FROM ALONA
“Have we re-established contact yet?” Demanded General Lura in a low, grumbling voice for perhaps the tenth time in ten minutes.
Fresh beads of sweat formed on the communications technician’s forehead as she steadfastly refused to meet the general’s eyes and, instead, waited for her senior colleague to offer the commander, of all Alonan Imperial forces in the Foram System, an explanation as to why he could not speak to Captain Calan. The Captain Calan who, voluntarily, had entered the alien ship hovering serenely in the main holo display and filled the center of the cargo bay converted by General Lura into his command post for this operation.
“This was to be expected, General.” Chief Scientist Kilor reassured the military man while running a hand across his brown, lightly furred head.
Though perhaps not friends, Kilor and Lura had come to understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses, during their long months together, sequestered in the Foram System. They had overseen the construction of the industrial base, which built the shipyards, which in turn were to build the warships the Empire so desperately needed, if they were to reach parity with the Humans and their Commonwealth Union of Planets’ allies. Then, a new and more deadly enemy revealed themselves, coined the Black Ships by the Commonwealth, these ships were crewed by ghosts, at least all believed their race to be dead, at the hands of the Others.
The Commonwealth had gotten one step ahead of the Empire and identified this new enemy as the Saiph, the race, if you believed the geneticists, that had tampered with the DNA of races throughout the galaxy, his Alonan forebearers included, to ensure their progeny became the predominant lifeform on their native worlds.
