The known star systems of man are in turmoil and galactic war is inevitable. Mercenaries and raiders have taken advantage of a frayed Alliance Star Fleet to terrorize the outer worlds and the ships who supply them. With a government handcuffed by politics and graft, there seemed little hope. Commando Inc, privately funded and non-beholden to a strained galactic government exists with only one mandate - protect and defend those beyond the reaches and resources of a fading Alliance government. From their secret asteroid headquarters, Mark Carson leads his team of adventurers aboard the sentient starship Pulsar to right the wrongs of a universe on the edge of war. Now, a shape shifting evil has arisen and with its army of genetic monstrosities, seeks nothing less than the destruction and subjugation of all life. With an alien enemy already planning their attack, can the crew of the Pulsar prevent the end of both sides and the slow death of what little remains?
