Mike Colby leads the crew of the new and revamped Blue Eagle in a personal battle against Empire Shipping, only to find that they are part of the much larger and well-funded Kronos Enterprises. With new and unlikely allies, the war with Kronos grows bigger than any of them ever imagined. The Blue Eagle's new role as an independent to explore and develop long-distance trade routes for Gemini's corporation brings new responsibilities that alter the relationship between Mike and Tisch as they take on new crew members and become an integral part of the rebel alliance against Kronos.
