Utoland -- bleak, miserable Utoland. Amid a disaster aboard a giant mining machine the Travellers start asking themselves why they would come here, why they would take such dangerous and underpaid work and why their memories are suddenly disjointed. As the Zhodani occupation of Utoland begins, the Travellers realize they are not who they thought they were.

The answers lie in a spacecraft in the Utoland system, but to reach it they will have to go through the Zhodani occupation force. Reaching the ship, the Travellers learn why they were hiding on Utoland and where they must go next. More importantly, they unravel what they have done. The Fifth Frontier War is unfolding around them, and there is a good chance that they had a hand in starting it... Did you?
