After Exosquad comes to the rescue of a freighter being attacked by Tethysian Pirates, the General Assembly commissions Exosquad to eliminate the Tethysian Pirate menace once and for all.
The battle against the Pirates is reaching the end as the Pirates are pushed back to their bases on Mars. On Earth Napier's story is unfolding. A disgruntled ex-Exosquad pilot he's now a police officer and is about to fall into a new role. Something strange is afoot with Governor Phaeton as well and a subtle sub-plot is presenting itself.
The final push to take out the Pirates on Mars is underway. This offensive has allowed the Neo-Sapiens to escape attention and a sub-plot is revealed. Governor Phaeton is secretly planning a massive attack against the Terrains and has amassed a powerful offensive. Following the Pirate battle the Neo-Sapiens surprise everyone as they begin operation 'Destiny'!
The surprise attacks from the Neo-Sapiens is proving effective. Venus and Mars are easy targets, but the icing on the cake for the General Phaeton is overtaking Earth. Admiral Winfield's absence has put Captain Marcus in charge and he is foolishly commanding the Exo-fleet into a Neo-Sapien trap. The resistance on Earth is gaining momentum, but are still under matched against the Neo-Sapiens. A final clumsy move by Captain Marcus has put Lt. Marsh into the Brig. and the Exosquad is now leaderless.
General Phaeton's attack on the humans is in it's final stages as they seek to destroy the Exo-carriers. The Exosquad helps Lt. Marsh escape imprisonment to help defend the doomed squadron. Captain Marcus's faulty commanding has put the squad in a tight corner and it's now up to the Exo-fleet to defend the carriers while they try to escape. This in turn leaves the earth defenseless and the Neo's continue to take hold over the planet. Can the resistance led by Napier hold out over the Neosapiens?
After being imprisoned for the past year (for acts of 'treason') the Exosquad is now back in action. Their first mission is to try gain access to the enslaved Earth and disable the energy-shield encompassing it. The Exosquad finds resistance from both the Neo-Sapians and the resistance fighters on earth though. In the end they find there are secrets to the origins of the energy-shield and trouble in disabling it.
The Exosquad has successfully alerted Admiral Winfield about the energy shield encompassing Earth and the one being constructed on Venus. The crew is now helpless to leave Earth through the energy shield. Now the team has a plan to sneak onto a Neo-Sapian prisoner base and pose as prisoners to be sent to the Venus Prisoner colony. A Terran traitor is among them and risks exposing their plot unless they can uncover him or her before it's too late!
After the Exosquad's prisoner transport crash lands on Venus they meet come across a group that has plans to use the Exosquad for their own benefit. Meanwhile Nara's cover of a 'crash landing' has allowed her to find out the fate of her family.

We open to find Marcus and newly promoted Captain Furlong plotting mutiny against Admiral Winfield. As part of the plot, Marcus plans to get rid of J.T. and the gang by sending them on what he tells them is a "top secret" mission to Mars. J.T. and the Squad accept the mission, and all but Maggie Weston and Kaz take off for Mars. They are told that they will be attacking a Neo weapons complex near Olympus Mons. The weapons complex is really a giant Neo brooding lab that the Neos are using to brood workers who will replace Terrans.
We open to find Exosquad on Mars, about to be annihilated by Neos. With some quick thinking, J.T. temporarily gets the gang out of hot water and hidden in a cave where they repair their E-frames. Back at the Resolute, Captain Marcus has now gained control of the fleet and launches it into a full-scale assault against the Earth. Marcus asks Exotroopers loyal to Winfield to join in the fight.
J.T., Marsala and Exosquad troops injure Phaeton as they do battle on the mountains of Olympus Mons. J.T. attempts to forge a bond of peace with Tethysian Pirates.
