Amicus Humani Generis

Space was the last frontier for the human race, but was it? The crew of the USC Avenger is about to have that question answered. While the Avenger is out on a routine vacation tour of the fabled Marson prison, they come across an unidentifiable ship floating in space, having been attacked by a savage race of alien beings. The rescue team finds only three people out of the entire crew survived. Janus, one of the survivors, belongs to an alien race that the humans have never before come across. She keeps her own past and origins shrouded in mystery, though with the display of her own strange powers, it becomes obvious that Janus is a truly powerful but largely unknown element. After coming under attack by the very beings they had rescued Janus from, the Avenger is catapulted across the universe and into a galactic war that the humans are totally unprepared for. More than the outcome of the war weighs on the minds of all those involved. Would the Avenger ever get home? Would they even survive to try and return to Earth? Personal revelations, even historical revelations, ensue as everyone inevitably forms relationships, friendships destined to last. And perhaps more. Perhaps love.
