The Derelict Saga

some mysteries shouldn’t be solved…

The Derelict Saga takes place in a future where humankind has colonized the solar system, but is on the brink of extinction. Humankind’s constant need for resources has begun to outstrip their mining abilities in the asteroid belt, the planet Mars, as well as the many moons of Jupiter and Saturn.

For perhaps the last time, humans across Sol system banded together to create new technologies with the hope of building a ship to find their future. The Sol Federation Ship Mira took nearly forty years to build and a considerable amount of irreplaceable, precious resources.

The Derelict Saga begins with the first installment, Derelict: Marines.


Fifty years ago, Mira, humanity’s last hope to find new resources, exited the solar system bound for Proxima Centauri b. Seven years into her mission, all transmissions ceased without warning. Mira and her crew were presumed lost. Humanity, unified during her construction, splintered into insurgency and rebellion.

Now, an outpost orbiting Pluto has detected a distress call from an unpowered object entering Sol space: Mira has returned. When all attempts at communications fail, S&R Black, a Sol Federation Marine Corps search and rescue vessel, is dispatched from Trident Station to intercept, investigate, and tow the beleaguered Mira to Neptune.


As the marines prepare for the journey, uncertainty and conspiracy fomented by Trident Station’s governing AIs, begin to take their toll. Upon reaching Mira, they discover they’ve been sent on a mission that will almost certainly end in catastrophe.

 

Trapped on the Mira, Corporal Kalimura must lead her squad of injured marines to safety. But, aboard the derelict, every shadow is a possible threat, and around every corner lurks another hazard. Without life support or gravity, and only their suit lights to see by, they must explore the ancient wreck to find a way to communicate with their ship and escape their hellish prison.

The remaining crew aboard S&R Black struggle to tow Mira out of the path of an incoming Kuiper Belt Object only to realize that the non-sentient hazard is the least of their worries.


Trapped aboard Mira, Corporal Kalimura and her squad face hostile alien creatures while desperately searching for a way to escape.

The crew of S&R Black, meanwhile, discover the alien-infested Mira has brought back something else from outside the solar system, and it may mean the end for them all.

 

 

Days after escaping the derelict ship Mira and Pluto’s destruction, Black Company is pulled from stasis hours from Trident Station only to discover the solar system has gone silent.

Nearly empty on both ammunition and fuel reserves, taking refuge at the silent, apparently dead station is their only choice.
When they arrive, they find they are far from alone, and humanity’s future lies in their hands.

Derelict: Trident, the suspenseful, action packed fourth and final installment of The Derelict Saga, reveals the AI conspiracy, the true threat the exo-solar creatures pose to humanity, and the emergence of true non-carbon sentient intelligence.
