Humanity has moved to the stars. War, famine, and even political infighting have become bywords of an age when humanity was stuck on one heavenly sphere. Earth is no longer the center of the human universe instead humanity has separated into coalitions of worlds that have racial and historic ties to one another. The Fleet is the organization consolidating our species remaining military power. It has been separated into fleets controlled and supplied by the factions with various political and historic ties but a duty for the safety of the human race as a whole. Their Central Command (CENTCOM) is based on Haven the planet settled after Earth and its where technological and political power has been concentrated.Captain Jackson Wolfe has battled the prejudice of his Earth heritage his entire carrier. His uphill battle has seen him in command of the Blue Jacket a destroyer and technically one of humanity's strongest warships, the only problem is that its decades out of date and part of the partially decommissioned Seventh Fleet. The "Black Fleet" is all that remains of this once united core service that patrols the space-lanes of humanity and has become the dumping ground for the disorderly, incompetent, and disaffected. His decades of service have only enabled him to see just how hard his superior is working to strip him from the ranks.His latest cruise has barely begun and a new executive officer hand picked by the admiral that despises him has been assigned. A Senator's obnoxious aid was added to his roster and the admiral has cut orders forcing him to disembark. All this before he can even inspect the ship after being in the dockyard getting the systems updated.
