| − | The story begins with [[Phillip Agustus|Phillip], leader of the [[Crassians]] putting his personal puppet, the [[Varnok]] prophet to work turning yet another of [[The Nine Ancient Races]] against Earth in a bid to destroy all humans in Sol sector. This time, however, he's sending the [[Tragarian]]s. Back on Earth, Grand Admiral [[Mike Clayton]] is still busy, even two years later, trying to put [[Earthfleet]] back together and strengthen its forces after the heavy losses they suffered at [[The Battle of the Oort Perimeter]]. Chancelor [[Nordham]] meanwhile is busy with the daily duties of keeping the [[Society Colonies]] in top shape while [[Eric Rogers|Eric]] works to tweak and fine tune the [[Sergenious]], and [[Joel Pendleton|Pendleton]] is busy trying to prove his superior piloting skills in a star race. The rest of Eric's crew are instead spending time partaking in a well deserved vacation planetside on Earth.

| − | However, in the midst of all this, a message comes in from the [[UGW]] inviting Nordham, Mike and their respective escorts, to a diplomatic meeting on [[Sebius]]. However, given recent events, they are justifiably suspicious of this and contact Ambassador [[Phyland]] asking that he validate the request. He and V'sin then take the request before the UGW Chancellor and validate its claims, after which they report this back to Earth. Upon hearing this, not only does Earthfleet and the [[Brayburn Society|Society]] start preparing for the journey out to Sebius, but so does the [[Fleet Intelligence]] director by assigning [[Lars Nordic]] and his partner [[Vladimir Umnov]] to secretly join the diplomatic mission in hopes that they might be able to search through Sebius for clues to the identify of the people or organization that has been working secretly behind the scenes to destroy Earth and all humans. After making final preparations, the fleet of Earthfleet [[Shipkiller]]s that is assigned to the trip to Sebius, forms up, and then slips out into the space beyond the [[Oort Perimeter]] and meets up with Admiral [[Sevok]], who then begins to escort them to Sebius while [[Black Claw]] and his secretive fleet of Tragarian battleships shadow them from a distance.

| − | However, suspecting that this might happen, [[Alfred Bofenheiser|Alfred]] sends Captain [[Blakely]] and his fleet of [[Skipjack]] battleships cloaked and in close pursuit behind Mike and Sevok's fleets as extra insurance in case something should go wrong. Aboard the Sergenious, things are starting to settle into a normal, but somewhat boring routine as they all settle in for the long journey to Sebius. It's during the first day of this journey that [[Zoahn]] appears and begins threatening her that, if she doesn't marry him (they call it "bonding"), then something bad might happen to Mike. However, she rebuffs him, forcing him to flee. Behind them, Black Claw's feet does its best to conceal their presence from the Earthfleet ships. However, for the entire first eight days of their journey, they are picked up on the long range sensors of the shipkillers, although the only thing that the Earthfleet ships know is that something is there, but not ''what'' is there. On the eighth day, after having passed well into neutral space, Black Claw makes his move, closing in on the fleet and drawing them into a fight.

| − | But, instead of finding themselves in what they believed would be an easy fight, Black Claw discovers that the Gayik'Von have secretly brought reinforcements. This forces Black Claw to call in his reserves in order to again swing the battle in his favor. However, after a pitched and heated battle that slowly turns in the favor of the Tragarians, despite Sevok's reinforcements, and superior strategic skills, a surprise third party enters the battle in the form of a Varnok fleet that comes to the surprise aid of both Sevok and Mike's fleet. After driving away Black Claw's fleet, the Varnok divide their forces and leave part behind with Sevok's fleet as they initiate repairs, and part go with Mike's fleet, personally escorting them the remainder of the way to Sebius.
