Battles in the Black

Morgan had a simple plan: sell her captured pirate ship, hire mercenaries, and rescue her parents from her former homeworld. Nothing was going to stop her, not even the pirates trying to take her prize back. All they got for their trouble was two more ships added to Morgan's forces, but the pirates were only the beginning. The very people she wants to liberate her parents from have invaded her new home, laying siege and cutting them off from the rest of the galaxy. Desperate for ships and experienced spacers to crew them, Morgan, her crew, and her ships have been conscripted into the Navy of her adopted home, despite the exhaustion of the former and the damage to the latter. Morgan herself has been given the unwanted and laughable rank of Commodore. What for most would be a position of pride only represents the things standing in the way of Morgan's plan. She has a new plan now; simpler, but also more dangerous. Survive.
