Plot Summary
Set on Galtor in May 3025 during The Galtor Campaign, the story depicts the actions of the Neptune-class submarine FSS Ward and her four sister ships in defending a secret underwater planetary command post of the Federated Suns in the waters of Derry Bay against Draconis Combine forces.
