From publisher blurb:
There are weapons, and then there are legends. Obsidian Key is the latter—a prototype of unknown origin, rumored to bypass every known security system, slice through encrypted data as though it were air, and, in the wrong hands, render entire fleets defenseless. It has surfaced once again, or so the informants claim, somewhere within the labyrinthine industrial levels of Forge Station Omega.
Two factions, bitter adversaries, race to claim the Key. One seeks to suppress its existence, bury it beneath classified files and unmarked graves. The other seeks to wield it as a harbinger of chaos, turning systems inside out with the stroke of a single keystroke. And in the midst of this storm, you—mercenary, ranger, thief, or something in between—must decide where your allegiance lies… or if the highest bidder is the only cause worth fighting for. The stage is set, the players in motion. Somewhere in the labyrinthine corridors of Forge Station Omega, the Obsidian Key waits. The Ascendancy hunts it like a rabid beast, the Shadowborn seek to tear it from the Dominion’s grip. The race begins.
