In a galaxy where humanity has united under a single banner to explore the stars, Malan hides a terrible secret. Once a promising young officer, he has chosen a life of penance as a low-ranking technician aboard the decrepit Miotov research station. His days are filled with menial, backbreaking tasks and the constant humiliation inflicted by his superior, Beric. But when an ancient Celestial Storm begins to tear a hole in reality and the malicious entities known as the Abyss threaten to emerge, Malan's life once again takes a dramatic turn.

Drawn by an inexplicable connection to the storm's energy, Malan stumbles upon the shell of a Starbound as he makes his escape—an ancient, sentient spacecraft waiting for its chosen pilot. Waiting for him. As he bonds with the mysterious vessel, Malan becomes part of the Nexus System, uncovering abilities that could turn the tide against the Abyss and forcing him to the forefront of the Galaxy as the first new Guardian in decades. However, the deeper he dives into this new power, the more he uncovers about the lurking darkness and the web of deceit that lies at the very foundations of society.

With the harsh realities of his past dogging him, Malan must navigate betrayal, cosmic battles, and the shadowy threats of the Abyss. Can he rise above his mistakes and become the hero he was meant to be, or will the Abyss consume him and the galaxy?
