Last Stand at Breck III

A ragtag team of space orphans accidentally makes themselves the last line of defense against a hostile intergalactic crime syndicate.

It’s a simple rule for survival: Stay out of the way. When Pan and his crew break their rule and rescue a moon mining colony from hostile takeover, they quickly find themselves as the only defense against an intergalactic crime syndicate called Rogue Worlds.

Now they’re outnumbered and outgunned – and not really sure why they’re still there.

Can they save everyone again? Or are they about to prove they were always right trying to stay out of the way?
