Peacemakers. The Galactic Unionâs most capable enforcers and resolute negotiators, their name alone elicits fear and awe among the Unionâs citizenry.
After the vicious attacks on Victoria Bravo, Commander Tara Mason and the newly formed Force 25 have no time to refit and reconstitute their depleted forces. Deputized by the Peacemaker Guild and charged with a time-sensitive missionâfinding James âSnowmanâ FrancisâTara and her mercenaries deploy to the wintry world of Snowmass to follow a 50-year-old lead on Snowmanâs disappearance.
Snowmass, though, is far from peaceful. A project of the controversial Dream World Consortium, the planetary governmentâs promises of pleasant weather and long growing seasons have fallen far short of expectations. Tempers are rising, and unknown attackers are damaging the Dream World Consortiumâs equipment. They are also drawing the ire of Mayor Citsym and the Trenta Knights; Zuul mercenaries with more than 40 years of less-than-stellar experience providing the planetâs security.
Force 25 arrives on the planet and clandestinely deploys their attached Peacemakers, Vannix and Jackson Rains. But their hopes for a peaceful investigation of Snowmanâs past are doomed from the start. Not only do they run into an assassination staged by the rogue Enforcer KrâetâSocae and his minions, but the Trenta Knights also believe the newly arrived mercenaries to be a threat. They stage an attack to drive them from the planet.
But neither KrâetâSocae, the local government, nor the Trenta Knights have ever seen anything like Force 25, and when the battle is joined, all of themâincluding Force 25âwill be forever changed.
