It is a harsh existence for the Flint Brothers. Hunted from one end of the galaxy to another by their late mother’s enemies, forced into hiring themselves out to different ships and crews in order to survive, the brothers endure the bleakest of livelihoods. Then a mysterious yet alluring stranger comes before them with something they can’t refuse: an offer of hope.
That hope is U-7501, a prototype warship of unrepresented power. She is docked within Rochelle Station, one of the most secure fortresses to exist. Completely ready to be stolen.
Rochelle is both technologically advance and heavily defended. To sneak in and steal this prized warship will require the perfect mixture of cunning, verve, and luck. It sounds nearly impossible, but as the brothers and their crew of rogues and scoundrels discover, it is only when they set sail with their prize that the impossible really happens.
Crewed and fitted, the Black Sun is at last ready for action. The Flint Brothers, Jonathan and Alexander, are now set for their given assignment: to search out and “unlock” the greatest mystery to ever exist within the Milky Way Galaxy.
The first phase of their mission is easy enough: raid an Imperial governor’s yacht under heavy escort, specifically for an ancient compass. One that will guide them further on.
The second phase, however, proves more difficult. The compass leads them to a strange jungle world, whose environment has been devastated by an unknown taint. An abandoned research vessel raises further questions. How and why did it end up there?
And much more, the brothers’ progress has not gone unnoticed. A secretive new enemy watches from the distance, awaiting the opportunity to intervene. One who may or may not have a direct connection to the brothers and their darkened past…
Space pirates Jonathan and Alexander Flint have found themselves on the outermost edges of the galaxy, in search of one of the greatest mysteries in the galaxy. But now – after all this time – have they finally found what they have been seeking?
As they draw closer to the prize, another force moves to challenge them for it. A legendary Imperial commander, and lifelong adversary of the Flints, seeks this treasure as well, and is prepared to battle the Black Sun and her meager pirate crew for it. With the full military might of the Terran Empire at his disposal.
Up against harrowing odds, Jonathan and Alexander are soon unearth the depths of their own courage, ingenuity and integrity.
It is now a year since the reformation of the Flint Pirates. Having recovered from Ephesus, the Flints are all but wholly unchallenged as they pillage and plunder across the galaxy. Many believe it is only a matter of time before Jonathan and Alexander regain their mother’s lost legacy and resurrect the Gold Dragon Clan. To say nothing of finding Arcadia.
Through such success however, a strange set of events begin to occur. An unknown force reaches out to the Flints, pleading for the aid of their patron. The foundations of a new galactic war begin to take root as two rival powers standoff over an otherwise uncontrollable region of space. All while a mysterious outsider pursues his own agenda, seeking a nigh unreachable Sunset City.
Finding themselves at the very epicenter, the Flints have no choice but to fight. And fight they shall, but as their enemies mount and space itself becomes incomprehensible around them, the brothers and their followers find themselves wondering. How will they triumph over this one?
With two Babels found and much gold accumulated, Jonathan and Alexander are well on their way toward claiming Arcadia and their lost legacy. Yet, through such providence, a new conflict emerges: war now embroils the Outer Rim as two great conglomerates vie for an unknown prize. A war that threatens to escalate all too quickly, potentially embroiling the rest of the galaxy.
Having no choice but to intervene, the brothers and their crew soon find themselves reluctant privateers. Carnage and bloodshed rampant, with many innocents caught in between, the Flints can only strive for victory. Victory that would see one belligerent destroyed and the other unopposed.
Through their fighting however, the Flints learn such to be but a fraction of a much greater whole. All while one of their own is forced to confront her much dreaded past, as well as those she had long left behind…
Nearly two years have passed into their voyage and the Brothers Flint, and their band, have gained much success and treasure throughout. Enough, in fact, for concern and enmity to steadily emerge among the galaxy’s leading powers, including the four Pirate Clans, whose Lords and Ladies well remember the days of Morganna Flint.
Fearing the fulfillment of the Golden Queen’s legacy, it is not long before one of these four chooses to act. From this advent, Jonathan, Alexander, and their crew are thrust into a wholly new conflict. One that would see them do battle against the forces of a great nation, all under the leadership of its scion and heir apparent.
Yet through this harrowing new struggle, the Flints find much impetus to be had. For victory would not only allow for further triumph, but also bring them that much closer to their long lost birthright…
More and more the Flints’ fortunes continue to accumulate while the stories of their most recent triumph circulate across the galaxy. Despite these achievements, however, the brothers are still a long way from matching their legendary mother, let alone claiming her legacy. Which is precisely when a possible new venture enters their midst.
Once lost for whole millennia, an almost mythical world of gold has now been rediscovered. It lies well within the Flints’ grasp. They need only reach. Yet as they embark on this new endeavor, Jonathan and Alexander find they are not the only pirates seeking this treasure, as an old enemy reemerges to challenge their claim.
Now embroidered in this race for the gold, the Flints must sail into unknown territory, as well as keep the competition at bay through any means available. All the while an unforeseen third entity watches the Flints’ progress with keen interest…
