On a remote mining colony, Kye Cortland, Dan Mor, is pulled into a desperate escape from a political prison. He is forced to amputate his own foot to save himself and the other prisoners from being shredded by the relentless mining machinery. Cortland is recruited into a rebellion against General Lang, who emerged victorious in a civil war against General Hatch. Hatch, a driven strategist, explains that Cortland’s father—an important figure in the rebellion—is destined for execution in a few months on Lang’s anniversary. With his skills as a pilot, Cortland is asked to hijack a scientific vessel, retrieve its data, and use it to help Hatch break his father free.
