The Federation's attack on the Zeon fleet in the Thunderbolt sector is a bloody failure, as Io Fleming leads a team of inexperienced young pilots into the heart of Zeon's defenses. Desperately, the Federation even throws maintenance crews into the battle. Losses mount as the two fleets collide, and Fleming and his opponent from Zeon, Daryl Lorenz, become embroiled in the wreckage of one of the space colonies. Overwhelmed and guided by memories of the past and all they have lost, their duel resonates with intense emotions from both sides in this deadly conflict.
