One team with a shared vision

large-square-mat

Life offers an endless stream of challenges. One after another, these nonstop trials create speed bumps, roadblocks, and harrowing detours that make even the most resolute adventure seekers question their ability to succeed.

Facing these often daunting tests of willpower alone rarely leads to the best outcomes. To truly succeed in life and to be our best selves, it takes the efforts of a committed team.

Teams share the workload, commingling their ideas forged from each individual’s talents and abilities. Crafting creative solutions to problems and diversifying processes among members of a team to reach specific goals generates magnified results far beyond what any one individual can accomplish alone.

The crew of the Starcruiser Galaxy is such a talented team.

Through the unique adventures contained within the pages of their stories, the crew of the Galaxy shares their challenges, their passions, and their internal turmoil. Though they don’t always see eye-to-eye, the Galaxy’s crew shares a bond even the toughest of challenges cannot break.

Together, the crew does whatever they can to support their shared vision, unique missions, and their team, even at great personal cost. Their sacrifices to save others, and each other, knows no limits, and their ability to grow as a cohesive unit is a direct result of that commitment.

They are a true team with a shared vision, a family with the strongest of bonds, in space.

Brakka’s Zombie Armada: On a routine delivery mission, the crew of a merchant ship is suddenly attacked by an armada of undead soldiers aboard a swarm of ships under the control of Commander Brakka, an ancient zombie with highly advanced technology stolen from a long-dead civilization. The crew of the freighter struggles to stop the invaders, but they are quickly consumed by the massive hoard.

From one star system to the next, the zombie armada conquers all in its path, gobbling up everything and everyone who stands in its way. Despite its best efforts, the strongest galactic power, the Tioran Federation, is unable to stop Brakka’s overwhelming invading force.

Five crew members aboard the Starcruiser Galaxy, Captain Mintax, Engineer Glenda Ritan, Weapons Specialist Steve, Programming Specialist Jonn Brock, and Communications Specialist Andre “Goober” Gu’ber hold the only key that can stop Brakka from transforming galactic citizens into his zombie minions — or lunch for his crew.

As the facts unfold on Brakka’s ascension to power, the crew of the Galaxy learns of their involvement in creating the malevolent monster. To correct their mistake, the Galaxy’s crew must time travel to the past to a point before Brakka obtained his massive armada if they hope to defeat him in the future and set the universe right once again.
