Rumor has it that Earth has a god that can destroy entire galaxies and birth new ones if she ever finds her mate.

Naturally, every species in the galaxy wants her.

Earth's prime admiral pardons "Barbarian" captain, Vincenti Merrecci from prison to prepare a new ship and crew for imminent war.

When The Divide attacks before his ship is ready, Merrecci finds help from the only people he managed to save during the attack: The cadets from the program for students with disabilities-the very people he argues should not be allowed in the academy.
