Defending Our Sacred Honor

In space, no one can laugh at your ships, but they can send you a nuclear missile. When the Terran Confederation decides to impose their will on their colonies, civil war breaks out, and they call on the Space Force to crush the rebellion. Unfortunately, the TCSF is a scientific research body, and half their fleet gets eliminated in the first month. To fight the insurgency, the Confederate Senate resorts to begging rich patriots to fund their war machine, but they need some incentive... so they let those donors command the ships.So it's up to Javier "Jax" Jackson, an old hand in the Space Force, who went from repair specialist to Chief of the Boat to save this mess. Can he train his new crew of inexperienced trainees, his group of even more inexperienced officers, and keep their new captain from blowing up the ship? Meanwhile, there's a war to fight, and what the rebels lack in technology, they make up for in creativity. The only question is... is Jax sneakier than the Rebels AND his own crew? For Jax, the answer is the difference between life and death.
