After the explosive events surrounding MPF6's destruction on Karkin Four, Wic and his team of daredevil operators join forces with the rebel force known as the Blood Guard. While the Phantoms desire to help relocate human refugees to safer worlds, they're forced to confront a more pressing objective: cut off the head of the beast and keep the Androchidan Empire from enslaving another world.

But old powers don't die quietly. When an assassination attempt shatters the new Queen's coronation, Patrick "Wic" Finnegan and Phantom Team are thrust back into the chaos they fought to end. Enemies once hidden now rise from the shadows in a desperate attempt to seize control of the fractured Republic. 

Ein Geheimnis, verborgen in der Antarktis. Ein Rätsel, das seit Jahrtausenden auf seine Lösung wartet. Und ein Master Gunnery Sergeant aus Brooklyn, der ausgesprochen sauer ist, weil er auf einen Haufen Wissenschaftler aufpassen soll.

Un secreto enterrado en la Antártida por miles de años. Y un sargento muy cabreado por tener que hacer de niñera para los investigadores que tienen que resolver el misterio. La última misión de Patrick Finnegan, alias Bic, antes de jubilarse de los marines, lo lleva hasta las montañas subglaciales Ellsworth. Pero ¿el motivo de verdad por el que está ahí? Le debe un favor a un viejo amigo. Aunque eso no significa que lo hará con gusto. Cuando Bic ve lo que han descubierto, no puede creerlo. Tampoco está listo para el estallido de violencia que se va a desencadenar.

Los seres humanos son como un rebaño de ovejas que se dirige al matadero. Su única esperanza de sobrevivir reside en un equipo que acaba de abandonar el planeta. Tras su exitosa misión, en la que lograron destruir el anillo de esclavización instalado en la ciudad de Nueva York, Bic y el resto del Equipo Phantom atraviesan el anillo original de la Antártida y llegan al corazón del Imperio androquí.

Pochodzący z Brooklynu starszy sierżant zbrojmistrz jest niesamowicie wkurzony, bo musi niańczyć ekipę wysłaną w celu zbadania Ziemi. To ostatnia przed przejściem na emeryturę operacja członka oddziału raidersów Patricka "Wica" Finnegana, w trakcie której przybywa na skute lodem wyżyny subglacjalne Ellsworth. Jedynym powodem jego ekspedycji jest przysługa, jaką jest winien staremu przyjacielowi. Nie oznacza to jednak, że pała do tej misji entuzjazmem. Kiedy Wic widzi w końcu, co odkryli naukowcy, nie wierzy własnym oczom. Nie jest również gotowy na zbliżającą się przemoc.

Ludzie są zaganiani jak owce na rzeź. A ich jedyną nadzieją na przetrwanie jest drużyna, która właśnie opuściła planetę. Po udanej misji zniszczenia pierścienia łowców niewolników w Nowym Jorku, Wic i członkowie Drużyny Widm przechodzą przez pierścień na Antarktydzie i znajdują się w głębi Imperium Androchidan. Ale gdy zakres operacji obcego gatunku staje się oczywisty, Drużyna Widm zdaje sobie sprawę, że nie mogą stać z boku, kiedy ludzkość jest zmuszana do uległości. Należy dołożyć wszelkich starań, aby spowolnić postęp wroga, o ile nie uda się powstrzymać go całkowicie.

L'ultime mission de Patrick « Wic » Finnegan avant son départ en retraite l'envoie dans la froideur des Hautes terres sous-glaciaires d'Ellsworth. Quand il voit ce que l'équipe a découvert, il n'en croit pas ses yeux. Il est loin d'imaginer la violence qui va en découler : un portail s'ouvre et libère un ouragan de fureur qui se déchaîne sur l'humanité. De l'Antarctique aux rues de Manhattan, Wic et son équipe vont tester leurs limites en se battant pour repousser la menace qui pèse sur la Terre.

È la sua ultima operazione prima del pensionamento e Patrick "Wic" Finnegan viene spedito sugli altipiani ghiacciati di Ellsworth. L'unica ragione per cui ha accettato? Deve un favore a un vecchio amico ma questo non vuol dire che lo faccia volentieri. Quando Wic finalmente vede ciò che la squadra di ricercatori ha scoperto, non può credere ai propri occhi: una tempesta furibonda si sta per scatenare sulla Terra.

Following their successful escape from Androchida Prime’s capital city, Sir Chuck and the rest of the Phantoms find themselves mystified by unsettling news. The leader of the Blood Guard resistance, famed General Cordan, has defected to the AE. But while many doubt the veracity of the development, more pressing intel awaits: the empire is planning to invade the Sci-Rung home world.

In the aftermath of Moldark's death and Soldark's creation, Magnus, Awen, and the rest of the Gladio Umbra must follow the sinister warlord back through the quantum tunnel into metaspace. Questions swirl around the enemy's ultimate intentions, as do the fates of those bound to serve the malevolent leader. What awaits the gladias, however, may prove to be more than they can handle. An otherworldly amalgamation of the Paragon's goals and the Luma's powers, Soldark gathers his forces for a final showdown against those who would thwart his plans.

In the wake of the Galactic Republic's fall, Magnus and the Gladio Umbra learn of a new superpower that hopes to unite all orphaned star systems in peace. But Magnus's suspicions grow as the Luma Alliance of Worlds uses anything but peaceful methods to co-opt allegiance in the post-Republic landscape. Meanwhile, on the fringe of the galaxy, a dark shadow looms. Moldark, the sworn enemy of a growing number of species, amasses power through a new partnership with the Obscura. With their combined forces, there is no telling what evil may rain down upon the galaxy's sentient worlds.

With the Galactic Republic in ruins and Capriana Prime uninhabitable after Moldark's assault, Magnus and his team are left to pick up the pieces. Hundreds of thousands of refugees need to be evacuated before time runs out. But the Gladio Umbra aren't without their own problems. In desperate need of rest, Colonel Caldwell arranges for the gladias to take refuge on a neutral planet. But Moldark's defeat prompts several key team members to reassess their roles and make decisions that will dramatically shape the Gladio Umbra's future.

For four millennia, the sixteen planets of the Imperium sector have served as a bastion of peace against the Chaosic Regions. The Imperium's legacy can be attributed to the formidable military power of the Stratus, the enforcers of the Supreme and the Senate. However, as is often the case with empires, it is the smallest cracks that threaten to shatter their foundations.

As Moldark turns his attention to Capriana Prime, Magnus and his gladias attempt to convince the Republic’s leadership to raise the planetary defense shield. But this seemingly simple task turns out to be more difficult than anyone expected, placing the planet’s population in grave jeopardy. Desperate to save the capital, Magnus and the Gladio Umbra fight to save the seat of galactic rule at all costs. Azelon isn’t without her tricks, however, and provides new hardware for Magnus—the BATRIG mechanized battle armament system.

A ship no one escapes from. A mission too impossible to execute. Rocked by the death of a critical team member and haunted by the sudden disappearance of another, Magnus and Awen fight to rally the remaining Gladio Umbra in the wake of their raid on Worru. They're forced to solicit support from...
