Prior to the events of Episode 1, a dying, former Axiom Technologies ISD agent named Locke tracks down Killian Sager, one of the galaxy's most infamous criminals, to help her infiltrate and disable a giant Maas-Dorian ghost ship somewhere in the Thornton sector. Only Killian Sager isn't what he used to be. Consumed with guilt and sadness, he seems incapable of the kind of violent reputation he was once known for. But Locke has ideas on how to remind him of who he really is. If she doesn't kill him in the process, they might actually be able to pull off one massive score...and find the things on board the secret ship they both can't live without.
