In the 3200th year of the Era of Space Exploration, the Human Federation pushes deep into the galaxy, only to encounter star-devouring Zerg that feed on carbon-based life.
Colonies fall, the front lines are in crisis, and human civilization is pushed to the brink.
Wei Wen, a cadet in the twelfth class of Junhui's noncommissioned officer program, boards a ship immediately after graduation and is assigned to the Cangren, a high-speed destroyer on the front lines.
There are no simulations or perfect scores here, only real artillery fire, cold wreckage, and death waiting to strike at any moment.
From novice theorist to battlefield officer,
from green cadet to pillar of the bridge.
Alongside Captain Zhao Feng, Navigator Su Qing, Weapons Officer Chen Lie, and the rest of the crew,
he will hold humanity's final line of defense in the boundless depths of space.
The Zerg swarm is coming, and the starships are ablaze.
This is a battle to protect their home!
