“One alien is a curiosity, two are an invasion.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin,

A haphazard conglomeration of a savaged Order task force and a naval support squadron that turned its back on Liberty to aid them, the Nadir Reprisal Initiative is an autonomous secondary fleet unit centred on Apotheosis, an Osiris-class dreadnought, and her surviving escorts.

Specialists in guerrilla warfare, research, and reconnaissance, the NRI finds itself facing an interstellar threat on increasingly limited resources. Cut-off from the Overwatch’s intelligence network for its ties to the Liberty Navy, the NRI fights to protect humanity from a shadowy enemy that seeks nothing less than the extermination of the human race.

Struggling to come to terms with cracks in their capabilities and conflicts between Order and Naval members of the fleet, the commanders of the NRI fight to forge their patchwork fleet into a weapon capable of standing against the nomad threat and, whether by guile, knowledge, or brute strength, to slay that which slays us.
