The Kingdom of Avalus and the Empire of Gallica are at war. Fighting has dragged on for years with no end in sight. Fighting rages on land and at sea. Though losses have been great on both sides, neither has managed to gain the upper hand for long. The end of the war looks no closer than it did when the fighting began.
The Gallicans are making another attempt to break the stalemate and seize the advantage. A full dozen Avalus ships, civilian and military, have disappeared from waters previously thought to be firmly within Avalus’ control. Normally this would signal a move by an entire Gallican fleet, but reliable intelligence says that the armada has not left their position near the Gallican capital. Rumors have begun to circulate about some terrible new Gallican warship, a marauder piloted by a brilliant and fearless captain, seeking to singlehandedly turn the tide of the war.
The Avalus admiralty board puts enough stock in these rumors to merit a response. They’ve sent one of their finest ships, the Hansei, out in search of this mystery enemy. A first rate vessel employed to hunt pirates in peacetime, there is no ship better equipped to take on whatever new weapon the Gallicans have devised.
Some mariners think they’ve been sent out on a wild goose chase, hunting a phantom imagined by frightened sailors. Others worry that they’ve been sent on a suicide mission, out seeking a terrible and unknown danger beyond what any single ship can handle. None of them have any idea what truly awaits them as they sail into the unknown.
