Interstellar Calamity Is Looming and All I Got Is This Stat Menu

After their excursion to so-called "civilized space" Anya, Samaira, and their friends have returned to Earth. Laden with goods from their journey, they're in a better position than ever before to protect Earth from the various galactic powers around them. Which is when a heavily-armed ship from the Luorian Galactic Union appears in the solar system. Again. The Union isn't here to threaten or quarantine this time, however. They want to use their absolute last resort: diplomacy. A Union ambassador offers a truce with Earth: no more quarantine fields, no more sending the Cosmic Wardens after them. They might even share some advanced tech with Earth by way of an apology. The catch is that the Union needs help with a nest of several hundred thousand bloodthirsty gnosiphages. If Anya and her friends can clear it out, they have a deal. But even if The Union agrees to a truce, they aren't the only ones with their eyes on humanity. Earth's governments tasks Anya with contacting the other galactic powers, to insure that mankind is never alone again. It's a mission that will take Anya and her friends to the heart of the Empire, the Citadel of the Cosmic Wardens, and one of the darkest corners of the Union. At the end of it, Earth may not just be able to survive, but to thrive on the galactic stage, and finally turn the tide. Assuming Anya and the others can survive assassins, gladiatorial challenges, alien bureaucracy, and far worse.
