     On their last mission, the Space Federation’s upgraded fleet of StarShips had been sent back to space to search for and destroy the remnants of the Crillon’s Fleet Twelve. Who were thought to be hiding somewhere in the Delta Pavonis star system. In the humans ensuing battles with the Crillons, they lost just one of their ships, the Javelin.           They had also continued their search for the missing settler ship, the Acarea, which had been launched from Earth almost 200 years earlier. With their interest being concentrated on a planet called DPav4, which was also in orbit around the Delta Pavonis star. However, a surprise awaited the human’s when they finally reached DPav4 and encountered the planet’s inhabitants, who were a human-like species named Pavonisiens.      The Crillon’s had already attacked the Pavonisiens, destroying one of their cities and other essential facilities. The inhabitants lived in fear of them and had been forced to work with them on growing the special crystals that the Crillons needed for their warp core engines.      During their time in the Delta Pavonis system, Frank and his men learnt that the inhabitants were really the human descendants of the crew of the Acarea, Earth’s first sub-light settler starship. The planet also held a key to the past, and frightening glimpse of the future that put fear into both Crillon and Earth forces alike.      Now, a year later. A science Starship named the Argonaut, together with the Repulse, which was the replacement for the StarShip Javelin, both join the other four Starships as they leave the Mars space-docks on route to their first stop, Delta Pavonis. Then onto Zeta Reticuli, where it is thought the defunct natural wormhole is in the process of re-establishing.      If the wormhole does re-establish, it will then provide a direct link from Zeta to Kepler. Thus allowing the Crillon ships an easy passage to Earth. If this happens, then Earth can never be safe while the Crillons continue on their path of destruction.      So, Commander Richardson’s fleet of six ships risk all, in an attempt to reach Kepler, and somehow convince the Crillons to change their ways. But Richardson soon finds out that the Crillons aren’t the only ones out to destroy the human’s StarShips. When his ships are ambushed on route by the seemingly indestructible species called the Solverons. And they realise, too late, that the Solverons have been stalking them all along.      All of this is followed by manipulation and treachery. Is it really the end of life as we know it, this time?
