Zoloru

For a thousand years, the Njorvo Empire has existed only as myth. Its worlds were burned. Its people scattered. Its once-mighty fleets reduced to piracy and survival on the fringes of the galaxy. Captain Zoloru, the infamous Laughing Goddess, has spent her life raiding merchant ships with her loyal crew aboard the ancient battleship The Morrigon. Wealth, glory, and a good fight were all she ever needed... until one brutal raid forces her to confront a simple truth. Pirates steal. Queens conquer. Abandoning the criminal underworld that kept her people alive, Zoloru sets out to rebuild the Njorvo Empire from nothing. Her first target is an isolated blue planet on the edge of civilized space—a resource-rich world inhabited by a divided, primitive species that calls itself humanity. To the Njorvo, Earth is the perfect place to forge a new empire. To humanity... ...it's the beginning of an invasion unlike anything in history.
