Description:

It's a Rough Galaxy Out There! Humans have come a long ways since the looking glass gates first appeared and an alien menace turned a motley crew of scientists, sailors and force recon Marines into battle-hardened space adventurers. Now with other species running scared, it's up to humans to take the lead and mold a weapon capable of checking the Dreen - a galactic cancer that has so far proved unstoppable. After an "interesting" couple of shakedown cruises, the Vorpal Blade II is dispatched to investigate rumors of an ancient and powerful civilization. Any remnant technology would be nice but what the Blade finds is much more than they bargained for. Worse, the ship is infested by an alien species of scorpion-like arachnoids that has the potential to wipe out a world. Leave it to the oddball geniuses of the Blade to sort it all out. And the Dreen are not going to like the answers.
