Thrust into the reins of power, after the Admiral of the Samsaran Stellar Navy is wounded, Meera is the last person guiding the bare few ships between humanity, and death at the hands of the warring xeno races that turned on humanity. The pointed-ear humanoids, the Anari, in their desire to remain the heads of the galaxy, saw humanity as a threat for their rapid rise, and galvanized the other species of the galaxy against humanity, twisting the other races worship of the so-called Ancestors, the ancient powerful, and mysterious species that had unknowable influence in the history of the galaxy, to wage a puritanical war in aid of the Anari's political aims against humanity, already a young stranger in a strange galaxy, lost far far away from home, now only remembered as Terrarth. Now, little remains of the vast territory humanity once had in this galaxy, the Firmament, and they are down to their last planet, and their last stellar force, a measly group of fighters and one damaged capital ship, with Meera on that last bridge. Meant to be a strategists, a logistics manager, a comms officer... and yet, now Acting Admiral. It's down to her... and whatever bare cavalry that may yet arrive.
