The Earth is under attack by the renegade General Hebert. This episode takes place entirely in the Navy Command Center near West Point, the capital of Earth, and is seen from Admiral Higgs point of view.

The Starship Hanno has only been gone seven days, and General Hebert's rebel fleet entered the solar system just as the Hanno was departing for the Zone.

There are only a few episodes left in the Between Earth and Arcturus saga. The sequel is in the works and will have much more from the Native Arcturusian point of view as the monarchy and people of Arcturus start seeing more visitors from Earth.
