Not Quite Rebels: A Space Opera

You could call Dax a lot of things: a criminal, a rogue, a con man, a murderer…

Even a bastard. He’s one of the thousands of bastard children of the Galaxy’s absolute monarch, after all.

But one thing you couldn’t call him is political. Dax never has cared about the Monarchy or any of the various rebel groups. All he cares about is his ship, his next payout, and staying one step ahead of the law, but unfortunately… politics cares about Dax.

A lot.

So what's the rogue son of an all-powerful emperor supposed to do when the system brands him a criminal and rebel? Why not make the lie the truth and take over the galaxy with the help of a beautiful survivor, a spy with strange mental abilities, and a robot who likes meat cleavers a little too much?

It’s a plan so crazy, it just might work.
