Synopsis: Stranded on the hell-planet of Arachnea, the last remnants of the human Fleet fight to survive in a world overrun by insectoid monsters and a sentient ecosystem gone mad. It is a war they are destined to lose, as with every century that passes, more of the ancient science lies forgotten, replaced by myth and superstition.

That is, until assistant navigator Rene stumbles upon a dormant Divine Engine, mightiest weapon of the ancestor-gods. Now armed with a forgotten power that can move mountains and boil the seas, can he reclaim humanity's rightful place as the masters of Arachnea? Or will this glimpse into the past unearth a deadly secret?
