Icarus Grid: Blood Money
A smoking ship littered with bodies told the horrific end of what was supposed to be his ticket to a better life. Damir could not help but think he should have stayed at home and spent the time he had left with his child...
Ex-mercenary Damir Aphelion was perfectly content with entertaining wealthy tourists in a ridiculous side show. His persona of the fastest gun this side of Icarus awed all who came to see him. It was a good life. Poor, but peaceful, it provided well enough for him and his daughter. Damir's attention soon turned back to his mercenary days when his daughter received a fatal diagnosis.
He quickly finds himself in the throes of a plot for power in a heist gone wrong, or cruelly right. When the galaxy's top Hunter, the Grimm Shadow, marks him for death, his odds of survival dwindle. With no one to trust, and a target on his back, Damir starts running out of places to hide in the Icarus Galaxy. Was the botched job his old gang setting him up, or was something far more sinister going on?
Icarus Grid: Phoenix Rising
As the walls of the colony collapsed around her, the Grimm Shadow had only one thought: She had failed...
The Icarus Galaxy demanded perfection and she expected nothing less of herself. Taking down a crazed warlord seemed simple enough, but the Grimm Shadow could not have been more wrong. The warlord had evaded her, disappearing into the Frontier Systems with a weapon more deadly than anything the galaxy had ever seen before.
Soon, others will learn of her mistake and wonder if perhaps she's not as infallible as the legends say. Unseen forces threaten to overtake the Shadow and claim the head of the mythical executioner. If she is not careful and cannot amend her error, there will be nowhere left to hide.

A darkness is spreading from what many believe to be a black hole at the edge of the cluster, and there are many lawless leaders who would use this stranger's gifts for control. These crewmates must decide for themselves if this stowaway is the savior of civilization or the catalyst for the demolition of society.
