Synopsis

The Terran exploration vessel Streaker, crewed by 150 uplifted dolphins, seven humans, and one uplifted chimpanzee, has made the most important discovery in galactic history: a derelict fleet of ancient spacecraft that may belong to the legendary Progenitors. Now crash-landed on the uncharted water world of Kithrup, the crew must survive while dozens of warring alien civilizations converge overhead.
