A newly repaired ship...A willing and eager crew...A host of new technologies...A long anticipated return home...The crew of the UES Aurora finally has the chance to fulfill their mission, but first they must complete a long and dangerous journey across a thousand light-years of unexplored space.

A chance to gain much needed resources... A group of highly trained, merciless soldiers... A half-completed ship on a trajectory to nowhere... A lone operative on familiar yet dangerous ground... Captain Scott and the crew of the Aurora have a chance to get everything they need to liberate their home world, but they may have to fight someone else's war first.

Heartfelt reunions with friends... Desperate plans to gain advantage... Opportunities that cannot be ignored... Discovery of family once thought lost... The time has come for Captain Scott to fight for that which was taken...the very freedom of the world he was sworn to protect.

A ship in the hands of their enemy...A liberation gone wrong...A chance to double their ranks...A bold and daring plan...Their support from the Pentaurus cluster dwindling fast, the Alliance faces new and unpleasant realities in the Sol sector. But, as they soon discover, untoward changes have the potential to bring unexpected opportunities. The trick is in how you use them.

Someone is cleaning up the badlands, removing the major pirate clans from the most developed worlds. Captain Scott and the Free Fleet must determine who is behind the liberations, and if they are an ally, or just another threat to humanity.

A world recovering from a devastating plague. A brutal enemy threatening invasion. A young man seeking to escape the shadow of his father. A ship manned by a crew of fresh academy graduates. A top-secret experimental propulsion system. A questionable alliance with a mysterious green-eyed woman. What destiny has in store for the crew of the UES Aurora is far greater than any of them could ever imagine. And this is only the beginning....

Captain Nathan Scott must decide whether to stand and fight to the end, or live to fight another day - even if it means the end of his world.

A ship stranded halfway across the galaxy. A difficult and lengthy journey home. A homeworld in urgent need of their return. And now they are running out of food. The crew of the Aurora must now trust their new allies in order to survive. But their situation may be far more serious than they imagined. And their actions could have repercussions across the galaxy. Their journey home may just have gotten slightly more complicated.

A ship under siege. A world on the brink of civil war. A distraught people seeking a new beginning. A battle weary crew that can barely hold it together. Even a legend can use a little help from time to time. The crew of the Aurora, the Karuzari, and the Corinairans must find a way to work together, or else they may all perish.

A world divided... A ship under construction… A military scrambling to prepare a defense... A moment that everyone hoped would never come... The Earth Defense Force must find a way to defend their world against invasion by the Jung Empire. More importantly, they must protect their newest ship, the UES Celestia, as she may be their last hope.

Time is running out. An ally has all but fallen. Resources are running low. The time for attack has come... The Alliance must strike deep into the heart of the empire. This time, the Aurora will be going home, or going to her grave.

A new ally providing aid... An old ally joining the fight... Their resources growing with each passing day... Their homeworld finally on the road to recovery... Things finally seem to be coming together for Captain Scott and the Alliance as he takes his forces on the offensive. However, the Jung may in turn give him more trouble than he bargained for.

A time to recover. A chance to make a new ally. A brief respite to repair and rearm. An opportunity for a people to regain their honor. For every civilization there comes a moment when a stand must be made against tyranny. The time has come for the Alliance to draw a line in the sand.

A captain coming into his own. A handful of refugees stranded on board. A possible traitor in their midst. A voyage into the territory of the very enemy that pursues them. Sometimes legends become realities in unexpected ways. It seems that fate has the crew of the Aurora firmly in its clutches.

Po niebezpiecznej podróży przez kosmiczne rubieże kapitan Scott i jego załoga docierają w końcu do ojczystego Układu Słonecznego, ale zastają Ziemię pod brutalnymi rządami Imperium Jungów. Przekonani, że „Aurora” to ostatnia nadzieja na wyzwolenie planety, odkrywają jednak, że przetrwał także jej siostrzany okręt – UES „Celestia”.

A cargo ship in distress . . . A mysterious stowaway in an SA pod . . . A crash-landing on a distant, unexplored world . . . An unexpected rescue by an equally unexpected friend . . . Captain Scott and his cohorts are lost in space, and time is running out. To make matters worse, the Free Fleet are not the only ones looking for them.

Three antique ships freshly liberated . . . Three different organizations hunting them . . . Thirty thousand light years to reach safe harbor . . . Twenty worlds depending on them for protection . . . With both the Alliance and the Korsan hunting them, the newly formed Free Fleet's only hope is escape. But it's a long way to Libertara, and their pursuers are relentless. The Aurora has only been in the fortieth century for a few months, and is already stirring up trouble.

The Free Ship Aurora has taken on a new responsibility: To protect even those who do not ask to be protected. But to do so, they will have to take an ambitious, against incredible odds....

Po ocaleniu „Aurory” i ludności Corinair nadszedł czas na odpoczynek, odbudowę zniszczeń i zawarcie nowych sojuszy. Chwila spokoju nie trwa jednak długo i wkrótce kapitan Nathan Scott i jego załoga, uzupełniona o nowych rekrutów spośród Corinari, muszą znów stawić czoła siłom Imperium Ta’Akarów. Podbita dekady wcześniej cywilizacja z pomocą Ziemian stara się odzyskać utracony honor i stawić czoła tyranom.
