The setting ...

Just a note that setting for Home are the nearby stars within fifteen light-years of Earth.  Wikipedia has a good summary of the nearby stars here, including 3-D charts.

Introducing Chapter 2 of Home: Interstellar

Well, here's the next chapter in our space opera.

Ten years after the attack on their merchant starship, the Princess, Meriel Hope still suffers from PTSD, but has put her life back together and earned a berth as a Cargo Chief on a new ship. Behind the scenes, unknown forces target the hulk of her old ship, the only asset of the surviving orphans. Meriel must find a way to save her ship and get the orphans back together to fulfill her mother's dying wish.
