action
In the 42nd year of the Rak Wars. On a planet outside the Druad system, a spy and her young companion flee from a group of extraterrestrial beings. The Rak Commander is specifically looking for her because she is special.
A spaceship near the planet receives your distress call. On this one is in command of Doc, the apparently last medic in space who leads a group of renegades. His companion Ash grabs a weapon and takes a glider to the planet's surface. When he finds the two in distress, the young man died of his injuries. You try to start the glider, but are shot at by the rak. During their ascent, Ash reanimated the young man because he is also a former medic.
In orbit you suddenly find yourself in the midst of a crowd of spaceships. Now Ash begins to understand who this young woman he brought on board is.
