In the year 2655, a generation-long battle rages between the Terran Confederation and the evil Kilrathi, a feline-like race of savages bent on destroying humanity. A trio of spirited novice fighter pilots are thrust into battle under the command of the legendary Commodore Geoffrey Tolwyn. Skills will be tested and friendships forged as they fly missions more dangerous than they could have ever imagined.
Maverick and Maniac are assigned to the Tiger's Claw for training. To test their skills, Commodore Tolwyn splits the new cadets into the Blue Team led by Maverick and the Red Team led by the hotheaded Maniac, but a traitor tries to sabotage the war games.
Maverick and Maniac are captured by Daimon Karnes, a missing legendary space fighter pilot who became disillusioned with the war and turned to piracy.
Stellar phenomena cause cadets Maverick, Maniac, Payback and Blizzard to become consumed with paranoia and put both themselves and their ship, the Tiger's Claw, in grave danger. Archer is forced to take Blizzard, who's secretly in love with her, down for good.
During a skirmish, Maverick and his bloodthirsty wingman, Hector 'Grunt' Paz, end up on a hostile planet along with the Kilrathi they were trying to shoot down. Can the two species work together for survival?
Maverick and Maniac crash-land on a planet of savage primitive humanoids who worship the Kilrathi as the 'Lords of the Sky.'
Commodore Tolwyn and his old friend Admiral Bergstrom disagree over whose strategy has the best chance of outsmarting the Kilrathi, who outnumber their forces. Bergstrom pulls rank and puts many lives on the line if she's wrong.
When Maverick and Payback's exploration of an unstable jump node goes wrong, they must keep it together to escape the Kilrathi space and make it back to Tiger's Claw alive.
A mysterious being in suspended animation is found aboard a derelict space capsule, who turns out to be a Warrior King from another dimension in search of an alien orb needed to save his world. But a pacifist planet is being sustained by the orb, and he Kilrathi also want it.
Maniac becomes trapped on a crippled hospital ship. Commodore Tolwyn personally joins a dogfight with the Kilrathi.
Maverick, Archer and Maniac are sent to check up on the Confederation's bio-research station on an alien planet. However, a downed Kilrathi pilot hides there, and the seductive Dr. Sing who runs the station makes Archer suspicious.
With the Terrans suffering unusually high losses in dogfights, Maverick and Maniac suspect that the Kilrathi have a new stealth fighter. But its deadly pilot turns out to be overly eager to prove himself to his superiors.
Maverick is shot down over an ice planet and Princess Zukara, the vain sister of the leader of the Kilrathi forces, wants his head. Her honorable subordinate Bokh offers Maverick a deal he can't refuse, but it backfires.
Commodore Tolwyn sends Maverick and Grunt to start an uprising on an alien planet that has been enslaved and prepared for elimination by the Kilrathi. He doesn't tell them that the real mission is a suicide run on Prince Thrakhath's ship.
