Kazsian Corlain is a name to be feared. When she arrives on a dying planet, when she boards a derelict ship, the survivors know who it was that found them. They know the merciless end they will meet. There is no depth too deep, no darkness too hidden, no secret too profane for her to ignore. She is ruthless, cold, and cunning. When the United New Earth Defense finds itself in a standoff with the pirates of Banshee-0195, they will meet Kazsian Corlain in a battle of advantages. They will try to out-maneuver, out-play, and out-smart her. And, ultimately, she knows that they will lose. And when they lose, she will plunder their darkest secrets, their most hidden designs, and she will discover something that even she had never expected. The clock is ticking. The end is near.

Kazsian Corlain is a thorn. A nuisance that needs squashing, an overgrown weed that needs tending. She lives her life in the chasm between conflicts, profiting from the scraps of greater powers, assuming herself influential and important. She is anything but. It is time that someone teaches her what I know. The age of the pirate warlord is ended. The time of her reckoning has come. Her reign will be brought to its knees and then its head will fall to the ground. And she will know that it was I who held the sword these many rotations. I, who orchestrated her grand demise. I am not an arrogant man. I simply accept that the universe swings in my favor; and on those swings, I make my bets.
