Year 2494. It's been nearly five years since Jim Raynor and Tychus Findlay were members of the Sky Devils, an elite unit of Confederate Marines known for their nerves of steel and military experience. After confronting a corrupt superior officer, they had no choice but to desert to avoid the threat of an unfair trial and re-socialization. Now Raynor and Findlay are criminals with a space marshal who is not used to surrender breathing in their backs. However, it’s a sin for them to complain about life. Every day presents new opportunities to steal a little more money from the vast Confederate reserves, and every night promises pleasure in bars, brothels and casinos with freshly acquired currency. But a happy life does not last long. And the moment when the law and the past catch up with you is just a matter of time... This is an unforgettable stage in the life of James Raynor, his immersion in the criminal world of the Koprulu sector along with Findlay, who is familiar with the street "concepts". It is here, where the picture of life is far from his humble upbringing in provincial Shiloh, that Raynor will face some of the most difficult trials of his life. His decisions will change his life forever, and his father's old saying, “We choose our own destiny,” will be put to the ultimate test.
