Plot summary[]

Opening crawl[]

FORTUNE AND FATE part 5 POWER PLAY

Doctor Aphra and her team are after the Rings of Vaale, mysterious ancient artifacts of untold power. There's just one tiny but
extremely dangerous detail—Ronen Tagge, scion of the infamous and insanely wealthy Tagge family, has his eye on the prize.

The race for the rings began on Dianth where Professor Okka discovered the fabled Ring of Fortune! But Okka's new protégé, Detta Yao,
betrayed Aphra's team! Aphra turned the tables on Detta only for Just Lucky to snatch the ring and deliver it to his real boss—Ronen!

Aphra's team narrowly escaped the complete obliteration of the ancient city long home to the rings. After stealing an old star-
ship and bringing the fight to Ronen, Aphra is determined to…be taken prisoner? It's all part of her plan. Probably…
