More DescriptionThe Nostluhk are feared throughout the galaxy. A thousand years ago they ruled the galaxy in an empire built on terror and slaughter. Now they exist as shells, decrepit rotting corpses, barely alive and yet still clinging on to the small patchwork of stars they have held on to. They have no morals, advanced technology, are unbeaten in living memory, and they never, ever, negotiate. They are beings of ancient fear, nightmares made manifest. And now they have kidnapped a starship full of Alliance citizens. From the bridge of her first command Captain Ejjina Mexonber-Quad watches helpless, ordered not to get involved as people are tortured to death. In the end, she has a choice to make, to throw away her career on a suicide mission not everyone will return from, or watch on as hundreds of innocent people die. But when the psychotic Nostluhk kidnap over five hundred people and begin experimenting on them Ejjian is faced with a choice, throw away her career on a suicide mission to save them, or violate every tenant of her conscience and faith.
