Fight for humanity's place among the stars! The universe is a battlefield where each other fights against each other, and each civilization does not give the other any chance. In the 16th century, Britain established a colony on Lonoke Island in the Americas, and then the colony mysteriously disappeared. In the future space, 412 alien races have formed a federation, prohibiting the colonization of races outside the federation, and attempting to allow other races, including humans, to fend for themselves. In order to fight against the racial federation, retired military officers John and Jane once again entered the war-torn universe and led a newly opened colonial planet-Lonoke. What John and Jane didn't know was that the planet they were leading would be the second colony to disappear...

The universe, the last frontier of mankind. The Dauntless, the flagship of the Interstellar Alliance, is a famous heroic ship. It is performing great missions in the universe, exploring new worlds, looking for new civilizations, and bravely sailing into the wilds of the universe that no one has ever gone before. For all this, Dahl, a junior officer who had just been transferred to the ship, felt both glorious and excited... Until he discovered that: (1) every seemingly ordinary field mission inevitably encounters incredible dangers; (2) the captain, chief scientific officer and handsome navigator of the spacecraft always survive in dramatic ways; (3) unfortunately, without exception, at least one crew member with a lower rank will die during the mission. In order to save himself and prevent the next field mission from being the end of his life, Dahl and his partners embarked on a crazy and thrilling adventure.
