The hum of the Starbreaker's engine was a constant companion to Lira. She sat alone in the comms bay, fingers dancing across holographic controls, chasing ghost signals deep in the Void.
Her mind replayed the day the Council raided her home colony on Valtis Prime—the day everything changed.
As a child, Lira had been fascinated by the crackling static of old transmissions, convinced that the stars were whispering secrets meant only for her.
Now, those secrets were warnings.
A sudden spike in the signal spectrum caught her attention—an encrypted message buried beneath layers of noise.
She decrypted it, revealing coordinates and a single phrase:"The key lies beneath the Ashen Moons."
Lira's breath caught. She wasn't just chasing static anymore. She was chasing a path to the truth.
