Beyond the Frontier

Beyond the Frontier follows humanity’s pursuit of the retreating Thaevrek fleet across the worlds beyond Terran Reach. Through shattered debris fields, industrial asteroid belts, volcanic landscapes, and toxic moons, Terran pilots confront an enemy whose machines were built not only for warfare, but for survival and industry. As victories mount and the distance from home grows, the line between protecting humanity and carrying war into another civilization’s territory becomes increasingly difficult to recognize.
