In Season 2: Deep Cover, the misfit group of smugglers, legionaries and militia deserters must forge themselves into a game-changing team in the crucible of a galaxy in meltdown.

New Chimera Company readers can start mainline thrills right here, or don their glacier goggles and jump back to the ice world of Rho-Torkis and Season 1. Here are a few of the things you’ll encounter in Season 2: deep space pursuit, sacrifices made for the sake of the team, Dyson rings, crime bosses with exotic alien assassin guards, deep state plots, super dreadnaughts, jungle revolutionaries, doing the right thing no matter how hard, killer goats, Orwellian spy states where speech- and thought-crimes could be your downfall, alien cosplayers, loyalties firm and tested, zero-gee jacuzzis, and Legion special ops. You’ll also find blueprints, propaganda, and other bonus artwork from the talented brush of artist Vincent Sammy.
When your worst enemy has your back… …you know the mission is doomed from the start. Sergeant Osu Sybutu of the Legion had a simple mission. Take five men and travel unobserved to a location in the capital where he would deliver a coded phrase to a contact. Simple, that is, except for the fact that there was a war going on, and all the different factions he had to pass by on the way would cheerfully shoot him on sight. And that was only if the planet didn’t kill him first. Militia Sergeant Vetch Arunsen’s task, however, was far more complex. Shepherd a group of hated rivals across the frozen wastes, keeping them safe from everyone who wanted to kill them, which was pretty much everyone. Including the oddball troopers under Arunsen’s own command, who would happily shoot the Legion soldiers if given the slightest opportunity. Legion versus Militia. Joint defenders of the Federation. In theory. Their mutual loathing, however, could burn the armor plate off a battleship. For rival sergeants Sybutu and Arunsen, there’s only one way their squads could survive trekking across the iceworld of Rho-Torkis. Legion and Militia.
The spy who came in from the void…? With his alien co-pilot at his side and a grin stretching across his face, Captain Fitz keeps one jump ahead of his creditors and one jump behind fabulous illicit riches. He likes it that way, even if he wouldn’t mind getting the riches…some day. Now he is chasing the biggest payoff of his career, and he’s hired a new team of marines to help win it. They call themselves Chimera Company, but they want him to be someone else. Sixteen years ago, Lt. Cmdr Zi’Alfu, Hero of Dama Prime, was booted out of Legion Naval Intelligence in disgrace so he could go into the deepest deep cover ever. Now his former superiors want to activate their asset…But are Zi’Alfu and Fitz still the same person? Can Fitz outrun the darkest operation Naval Intelligence ever planned…the one he himself conceived? Meant to reboot the entire galaxy’s government, it has one of the simplest names ever: Operation Redeal.
When everyone is an informer… One slip can send you to the camps. Cut off from the rest of Chimera Company, Lily Hjon and her Militia comrades are sent to Eiylah-Bremah, a totalitarian world where failure to report a crime earns the same penalty as committing it. Following her orders means supporting a regime that sickens her, but joining the rebellion would mean fighting for a group that could be even worse. Then Lily meets an innocent girl snared by the system, and she knows it’s time to make her choice. The consequences will reach across the Federation, for Eiylah-Bremah is not as isolated as it appears. Pulling strings from the shadows is an organization with an interstellar agenda and a desire to see Chimera Company burn. Department 9.
Vetch’s captor wants him to escape…because she enjoys the chase. Hostage, decoration, amusement: Vetch Arunsen has never been any of these things before, but he has to adapt fast if he’s to survive captivity at the exotic court of sector crime boss, Nyluga-Ree. His deadliest threat comes from the beautiful alien assassin who wants to sink her claws into him. If Vetch runs, it won’t only be the assassin who comes for him. Through war zones, terraforming worlds, and intergalactic invasions, Nyluga-Ree will never abandon her pursuit. Honor demands it because of who she is. Smuggler Queen.
We stand together…or fall apart and be eaten by the invaders. Combat with sword and buckler on the bloody sands of the Ibson Arena. Resistance raids on the occupied world of Rho-Torkis. A desperate bid for freedom on an Andromedan farm world. And speaking the truth to the Federal Senate in the halls of power. These are some of the battles still to be fought, but little time remains to win them. The Andromedans are everywhere. For the peoples of the Federation, this is their final chance to hold the line.
