Beacon 23

On the outskirts of space, Beacon 23 is operated by one man. The job is lonely but simple enough-help ships navigate the hazards of space travel. But the job becomes complicated when an unexpected visitor exposes a dark secret hidden on the beacon.

On the heels of Aster's discovery, Wreckers force their way onboard. Looking to steal a special prize, the Wreckers have been told this beacon is carrying something special. Aster's only hope for survival is to find common ground with an enemy.

In shock after her first kill, Aster buries her feelings as she and Halan prepare for QTA Manager Coley to arrive on the beacon. Once onboard, Coley immediately distrusts Halan and sees him as a threat, forcing Aster to make a tough decision.

In the early days of Beacon 23's history, Sophie is one of the first Beacon Keepers. When Sophie receives a surprise visit from Milan Aleph, the awkward genius responsible for beacons, she realizes she's set a dangerous precedent with her AI.

With no immediate threats, Aster and Halan piece together Halan's past. They soon realize Halan has a connection to the rocks they found onboard. This connection leads Halan and Aster to an even bigger discovery that will alter both their lives.

The series goes back in time to show how the rocks first appeared on Beacon 23.

Aster and Halan become obsessed with learning more about The Artifact, when an organization known as The Column arrives at the beacon and reveals even more connections. The weight of this knowledge turns out to be too much for one of our heroes.

In the aftermath of Bart's actions, the QTA Mothership descends on the beacon leaving little time to process the tragedy. As QTA Leader Aleph comes onboard, Aster must make a decision that could mean life or death for everyone onboard.
