It's the 51st century and the Milky Way Galaxy is teeming with exotic species. The majority of the known civilizations have formed a multi-cultural mega organization called the United Stars of Galaxies. Eric Olafson returns to Arsenal II to begin his sophomore year at the Academy, training to become a member of the United Stars Space Fleet.

When a former Admiral wants him dead, will Eric and his comrades of the USS Devastator be able to fight back?
