2179. Humanity’s golden age of space expansion shatters when astronomer Jayne Flynn detects the first undeniable signs of alien intelligence in over a century. Simultaneously, an ancient, battle-scarred warship erupts from beneath Earth’s crust, triggering a cataclysmic supervolcano. Earth is suddenly caught in an aeons-old war between the Graxx, a civilisation capable of destroying galaxies, and the Trine – enigmatic beings from deep space with a disturbing connection to humanity itself. As the last survivors flee into the stars, a fragile alliance forms between the Earth Defense Fleet and the Trine. But trust is fragile, and ancient grudges run deep. In the shadows, a ruthless human cult leader escapes captivity, intent on seizing control of humanity’s future. As terrifying truths emerge, preparations begin for a final confrontation, one that will decide whether humanity ascends… or is wiped from existence.
