It is a new era. In the 35th Century after the Crisis, Earth leads an alliance of planets on a mission to explore the Quadrangle, an unknown region of space that may hold the secret to restoring a former empire. The crew of the Paradigm may be unorthodox, but they’ve come through the Crisis as heroes. Will former museum curator Vanderbeam’s new role as captain help him forget Princess Jovia, the object of desire assassinated by the instigators of the Crisis?
