2000 years have passed since the beginning of the colonization of the galaxy. The land is forgotten. Humanity has lost the coordinates of its ancestral home. Pilot-gunner Agzhey Veren is young and self-confident. Fate throws him onto the battle cruiser of the imperial armada "Stork", where he comes under the command of a more experienced and skillful partner Colin Maklovsky, nicknamed Dyup. The mastered universe is on the verge of war, and Agzhey learns that his partner must urgently fly to the other end of the galaxy, because that is where the front line of battles is. Having lost a friend, he also tries to get a transfer to the ancient and rebellious South, where the colonization of the galaxy once began.
