Description

Floating in the void, the Seventh Star Hotel was once the glittering jewel of the Hub – a golden sphere where celebrities, merchants and thrill‑seekers mingled under translucent shells of battle‑plastic. By its twelfth year the resort had slipped into quiet decline, its lavish suites half‑empty and its future hanging on a fragile line of freight traffic. Yet the promise of excess still lingers in its garden terraces and exclusive dining rooms, where the scent of exotic cuisine mixes with the hum of unseen commerce.

Enter Quillan, a sun‑kissed enforcer with a talent for covert work, as he receives a cryptic call from the sharp‑tongued operative Reetal Dstone. Their whispered conversation triggers a rapid scramble for gear and a cascade of portal jumps that ferry them through hidden corridors of the hotel. With every step they draw closer to a hidden agenda that could erase the Star from the map, and the stakes rise faster than the glittering lights of the fading resort.
