Santa Rosa (Yellow Knife Intermodal)

By Lee Weltsch

When classified data leaks from a research vessel near the Fabian Expanse-details of a banned experimental weapon or black-site prototype that Yellow Knife was quietly transporting-the Santa Rosa is suddenly flagged as the suspected carrier or unwitting mule. Corporate security cuts all external comms and support, declaring the ship quarantined under emergency protocols. Chaikka is ordered to lock down, interrogate her own crew, and turn over anyone with suspicious behavior or unauthorized access logs-while knowing full well that Yellow Knife will happily sacrifice the entire ship and crew to contain the scandal.

Her final log crackles through the black: "We're freighters. We carry burdens. This one's mine."

The survivors-scarred by grief, guilt, and the knowledge of corporate rot-must now navigate a galaxy where trust is a luxury few can afford, while the same ancient power plays that doomed their captain continue to stir in the shadows of the fleet.
