Synopsis for "Ebon Tidings"
Spaceknights #1
The GMV Tanis comes upon the wreckage of GMV Praxis Six finding one lone survivor, Val. Elsewhere a Galadorian is tortured and forced to utter a vow of service to the Nazgoth. On the training grounds at the Academy of Spaceknights word has spread of the loss of the Praxis and Prime Director Artour's disappearance and apparent death. Brandy Clark, Balin, & Tristan visit the recovering Angel Elite Val in the hospital and hear what happened aboard the Praxis. President Itoes of Trion calls begging Galador to call off the attacks by the Spaceknights only to learn that Galador has NOT sent any to Trion but will now send Peacekeepers to investigate. Lord Baldar calls into question whether the Prime Director's NON-GALADORIAN mistress has the right to do so. Brandy then proclaims it is time for Sir Terminator, Balin, the rightful heir to Artour to present himself to Axadar for judgement that will allow him to ascend to the role of Prime Director himself. Balin proceeds to Axadar but is rejected to the astonishment of all gathered to witness the event. Lord Gaspar informs Brandy of an alliance between Trion and four neighboring planets against Galador. Balin steps forward and with a stirring speech rallies the people in defense of the Empire and prepares for war.

Synopsis for "Dishonor!"
Spaceknights #2
Tristan is talking with his mother Brandy Clark when he is suddenly debilitated by a vision of a Mystical Dire Wraith as Lord Gaspar walks in. As he leaves, he begins contemplating on Axadar, the ultimate in Galadorian technology. He is approached by his older brother Balin who questions whether he is contemplating usurping his position as the presumed heir.
Later aboard a Galadorian Vangaurd starship they enter orbit above the planet Trion. Balin leads them in an aerial insertion to the surface where they quickly quell the rebellion. An angered Balin berates Val in front of the squad shaming him. Back on Galador Gaspar reports back to his Nazgoth master. On Trion, Balin assigns each of his Spaceknights patrol sectors. Tristan (Liberator) is assigned Rand (Lightningbolt) as his wingman. The two of them locate a piece of enemy equipment outside their assigned sector and Tristan disobeys orders to investigate. They recognize the equipment as a Galadorian designed Long-Range Scanning Unit and as Tristan begins to report he has another vision of a sniper and ducks just in time only to see his wingman Rand slain by the shot from a hidden Wraithknight. The Scanning Unit then explodes allowing the enemy to escape. Tristan brings the body of his slain wingman back and is confined to quarters for his disobedience while his fellow Spaceknights view him walking off with contempt, pity, disgust, disappointment, and concern by Rhanla. Their first mission has been a disaster.
