Inspired by episodic stories like Cowboy Bebop and Firefly, A Neon Space Opera follows a hotshot starfighter recruit, an independent freighter captain, a lost space marine, and a disgraced intelligence agent as they grapple with a sudden attack from anarchists hiding beyond the fringes of the Net.
What good is the Net's most advanced starfighter without a Pilot who can fly it? Fleeing from a surprise attack on a fringe colony, the corvette Dragosa--with Pilot Tyto Tomica and his Edge aboard--is waylaid by Baker Squadron. A veteran unit cut off from the greater forces of the Net, the Edge and Guards of Baker are fighting desperately to keep the deadly tide of the Free Rangers at bay. Now, with a chance to learn from some of the best pilots in the galaxy and to get revenge on those who destroyed his home and murdered his friends, Tyto must choose to continue on with his mission back to Earth, or to step into the front lines of a war that is just getting started.
