Enigma
Floating dead in space, the transport ship Genesis has become an unsolvable mystery. All hands on board have been killed. What started out as a simple transport mission for the crew of the Genesis ends with their deaths and the loss of an important military prisoner. People on Earth are going through a hard time. They are at war with an alien race called the Cnidarians, who are much stronger than them. After a bloody attack on the military ship Vendetta, USSM special forces were able to capture 71099, their first Cnidarian prisoner. But Ediolon, the Phantom, is what most people in the fleet call it. Realizing that a military transport would be too easy for their enemy to target, the USSM asked Nathaniel J. Rhys, who was in charge of the freelance ship Genesis, to sneak the prisoner to the high security prison on Mars' moon Demos. It never got there.
