Among the best starts I've read! A clear and clever cleaving of the factions from how they were presented in certain other forms of media, and is a very lovely reflection of OPR's universe in comparison to it's contemporaries. This isn't to say that it's lost the plot. It certainly showcases the grim and dark aspects of the Sirius Sector, and the irreparable loss and destruction that serves as a cornerstone of grimdark settings.
