Political and social cataclysms are shaking the planets of the Federal Union... The ambitious General Joe Sheridan from the Federal Security Service (PASEC) entered into a conspiracy with the rebel forces of the Soto Zone and with the help of his subordinate squadron "Big Spy" led by the ultra-modern cruiser " Salamander decided to destroy the strategically important Van Rios station. Sheridan entrusts secret agent Poynter with carrying out his plan, who proved himself excellent four years ago in a secret operation at the Green Yard station, when the Ulric detachment of the special operations department, led by another PASEK general, Linnart York, was destroyed. But, in order for no one to guess about the true perpetrators of the upcoming terrorist attack, General Sheridden needs to remove the only surviving witness to the tragedy at Green Yard - a former fighter of the Ulrik detachment and the favorite of General York - Edward Clarke.
