In the beginning was the ship, and the ship was a light unto mankind. And the light shines into the darkness, but the darkness does not comprehend the light. And so the ship took a name unto itself—the Tesseract. It all started with an emergency call from a world at the farthest edges of explored space. “You are our only hope,” they told John Korbin and the crew of the Tesseract. A deadly virus would kill them all if the Tesseract did not get the vaccine to them right away.

He made all the difference. He set me free.

In all of that chaos at the end of the war, the Anoza somehow found me. They chose me to save the Tesseract. I didn’t know any of that when I bought a ship that was never meant for sale. I didn’t know any of that when I first stepped foot upon its decks and changed everything...but I know it now. And save the Tesseract? Damned straight, I will. I am John Korbin, outworlder to the nines. By the end of the war, I had lost everything.
