The Saturn moon, Titan is the second largest moon in the solar system. This mostly arid wasteland is also the battlefield where Terran forces are trying to disrupt a planned invasion by the bloodthirsty aliens known as the Satedans. The leaders of the Satedan, The Prophets of the Sun, are a religious fundamentalistic group vying to first rule the solar system and then the entire galaxy.

Due to a pre-invasion strike on Earth, Satedan rockets dispersed an airborne synthetic hormone interruption compound infecting Earth by targeting only the human male population rendering them unable to engage in combat of any form. Resulting in the female population being drafted into military service and given crash battle training, then launched into space to engage the Satedan' with a clandestine preemptive strike.

Space Force Captain Marnie, now a hardened soldier after her time on Titan has risen through the ranks quickly as she watched one after another of her superiors struck down by the enemy. Now in command of C Company, she does her best to hold her troops together. A thankless task because fighting a war a billion miles from home, the Terran women find comfort wherever they can, not knowing if or when their lives will end.
