Starbird II: Calypso's Run

It's been six months since Rick Niker set out on his own into the Spartus quadrant to search for his ship, the Athena. His hopes that the onboard AI, CORA 500 series, had completed its mission to find his first officer and wife, Jayda. But time is running out, as the escape pod she was traveling in has only so much life support. Following a faint trail of spent pod fuel and his intuition, Rick continues his journey, a lone traveler through the uncharted regions of the Hadrian galaxy.In the meantime, all of the factions of Hadrian must attend the Rite of Pintar; the christening of the newly crowned Royal of the Hadrian galaxy. Trouble is, there isn't a royal to christen. The Colonian Empire remains steadfast in their convictions that the Duchess Stephanie Benetar is the rightful Colonian Queen, while the Albion Empire contends she has no right. Only a blood heir to the throne can assume the mantle of Galactic rule.Thankfully, the rogue planet Aster remains hidden, deep in the clustered regions of the Spartus quadrant of Hadrian. With the help of their new friends from Kalamar, Colonel CJ Barker has successfully established a stronghold against the searching fingers of the Colonian and Albion Empires. While Colonel Gunnar Conrad and his crew have been happy to help assemble the Aster Command outpost. And while they have enjoyed the sanctuary from those who would have the advanced technology of the Starbird, he is determined to return to Carolon to retrieve the precious power ore, Asium.
