Suggested by chandlermchugh
In the early days of the galactic empire, a crime syndicate called Blood Moon rules the planet Ziost. When a ruthless mercenary named Jax Quinn steals an ancient relic called the Destiny Ring from the leader of Blood Moon, Wes Mortyr, a team of bounty hunters are dispatched to retrieve the relic by any means necessary, with a hefty reward waiting for them if they do. Soon, allegiances are tested when the Blood Moon bounty hunters start to fight amongst themselves. To avoid jeopardizing the mission, they must find a way to work together again and take down Jax Quinn and his gang of pirates known as Darkrayne, retrieve the Destiny Ring, deliver it safely back to Wes Mortyr, and collect their paycheck before it's too late.
