Two centuries after humanity’s victory over the Arachnids, the Terran Dominion reigns supreme—a vast empire forged in war and held together by propaganda. The Bug threat is said to be extinct, and citizenship is still earned through service. Young cadet Riko Tenner, son of a Federation war hero, enlists in the elite Astro Infantry Academy, alongside childhood friend Lia Serrano and the defiant Mason Barlowe. But when mysterious disappearances and encrypted distress signals emerge from the outer colony Erebus-9, Riko's unit is deployed on what is framed as a routine operation. What they discover changes everything. The enemy is not Arachnid—but a terrifying new creation: biomechanical Nephilim, born of human ambition, Bug DNA, and rogue AI. As the Federation scrambles to cover up its sins, Riko and his team must choose between blind obedience and open rebellion. In the final war for survival, the greatest threat to humanity may be what it has become.
