Master Post: Ends, Means, Laws and an Angry Ship (Patreon)

Rownt trade means that Command has retaken the rebel planets. And now refugees are fleeing toward the edges of space.  An ex-Command officer with a price on his head leads his ship into unexplored space. While trying to stay alive in the midst of a war, they've all broken laws, and they refuse to live in an Earth prison for trying to protect their families.  Tyce's plan goes south when an alien ship attacks both The Dragon and the Command cruiser chasing them. With both ships disabled, Tyce throws a Hail Mary. What he doesn't know is that his academy roommate is the officer charged with arresting him.

John has always put his world and service ahead of everything. He thought Tyce was the same, but then word came that Tyce had turned on his troops and joined pirates who preyed on Command transporters.  The betrayal cut deep. When he has a chance to capture Tyce, he is caught between demanding an explanation from the friend he remembers and throwing the traitor in a prison cell. But when unfamiliar aliens make an appearance, his feelings are unimportant in the face of immediate danger. He has to survive, protect his people, and warn Earth that the Anla and Rownt are not the only aliens in their part of town.
