Beacon 23

On the outskirts of space, Beacon 23 is operated by one man; the job becomes complicated when an unexpected visitor exposes a dark secret hidden on the beacon.

As Wreckers force their way onboard, Aster will have to put her trust in an enemy to survive.

In shock after her first kill, Aster buries her feelings as she and Halan prepare for QTA Manager Coley to arrive on the beacon; Coley immediately distrusts Halan and sees him as a threat, forcing Aster to make a tough decision.

In the early days of Beacon 23's history, Sophie receives a surprise visit from Milan Aleph, the awkward genius responsible for beacons, which results in her AI acting up.

While uncovering Halan's past, Aster finds a link to the rocks that will alter both their lives.

Going back in time to show how the rocks first appeared on Beacon 23.

Aster and Halan become obsessed with learning more about The Artifact, when an organization known as "The Column" arrives at the beacon and reveals even more connections.

As a result of Bart's action, the QTA Mothership descends on Beacon 23 and compels Aster to make a life-or-death decision for all onboard.
