The thousand-year peace of the ancient city of the pyramids on the peripheral planet Confin has been disrupted. Numerous “robbers” flock here for artifacts stored in the belly of black giants - from risk-loving individuals to private research companies. Only according to the most conservative estimates, stolen artifact technologies give the empire a profit of trillions of credits. So a real hunt began for the ancient burials... Giving consent to the expedition, the experienced old warrior Colonel Williams understood that a very dangerous and terrible job awaited him. After all, he, and all the people of the security corps of the imperial armed forces entrusted to him, were well aware of the quiet and sudden disappearances on Confin of individuals, groups and even large units, along with weapons and equipment... But, in spite of everything, the opening of the tombs began. And now courier rockets are carrying the first batch of artifacts into space.
