In the year 2380, the prestigious Aurora Academy is preparing its graduating cadets for their first missions in a universe filled with danger and intrigue. Among these cadets is Tyler Jones, a star pupil eager to assemble his dream team. However, his impulsive heroism lands him with a group of misfits that no one else wanted: a sarcastic diplomat, a sociopathic scientist, a tech whiz with a chip on his shoulder, an alien warrior with anger issues, and a tomboy pilot who is decidedly uninterested in him.

As Tyler and his ragtag crew navigate their new dynamics, they must also confront the larger forces at play, making their mission more critical than ever.
