Holon. An unremarkable star system on the edge of Vass Collective space with one inhabitable planet. Its ruined surface marking the final resting place of an ancient civilization. A place only the Olog could love. Until they found something new, and they panicked. Which was new for everyone, including the Olog.Captain Ishakar returns to her home planet of Kos to find the mission of a lifetime waiting. An old friend shares reports of a powerful alien race, completely unknown to the Collective. Their technology echoes of old Kossan legends, a subject with which most Kahou are still intimately familiar. Her curiosity propels her on a mission to find answers for her people, and for herself.Ishakar's search for the truth sweeps her into the irresistible orbit of the Terran, the last remnants of ancient Earth. A dinner party on the edge of the system reveals the true nature of her hosts, and begs the question, how does one ask a demigod to pass the wine?An ancient message sends her and her companions to unravel a mystery in Sol system, and eventually to Terra. Entrusted with a powerful artifact, Ishakar ventures into the territory of an implacable enemy that is not quite what it seems; and into battle against the true threat that is straining against its ancient prison. When the one entity with all the answers finds Ishakar, she learns that the difference between myth and truth will shake the Collective to its foundations.
