After defeating Sally-Beth and destroying her life, Adonis thinks he has earned his spot as the Captain. While most agree, Dante - the weapons provider - sees the extreme infamy as bad for business and looks for a way to start his own group out of the dissidents. Liverbroiler is tasked with stomping out any insubordination, leading to a game of cat and mouse between them.

News of Adonis rampage has reached the Major Alsulta and they have tasked Elijah Storm with capturing Adonis. They give him The Jupiter, a small but fast and powerful ship to track down The Prometheus. He recruits Jessah and Diemo as part of the newly established Jupiter Squad.

Also on Adonis’ tail is Locke, a mysterious bounty hunter tasked with ending the reign of The Pirates. He knows the best way to destroy the organization is through internal strife so he helps Dante recruit dissidents and start his own crew, leading to a Civil War where everyone is collateral damage.
