StarHawks: Aegis

Citizen. Civilian. Veto.
In the distant future, when mankind leaves FirstEarth to forge a new home among the stars, these three words are used to classify every person in the galaxy.
Alanwe Treskae, commander of the StarHawks, has always served the High Council with honor. Until she is asked to falsify a report concerning piracy and open rebellion, and she finds herself faced with an impossible choice: To condemn the innocent, and follow orders—or to maintain her integrity.
Questioning the orders of the Council brings her to a horrible truth: that the High Council, trusted with the task of governing humanity, is lying to the very people it is supposed to protect.
Now she must take a stand that risks her life, her ship, and her crew. She must ask herself if it’s worth committing treason and risking open rebellion against the state. Will she follow orders, or become the sacred shield, an aegis standing between the innocent and those that would do the people harm? When the Allied Galactic Guardianship of Humanity threatens those who refuse to blindly follow orders, will Alanwe and her StarHawks be the hammer—or the shield?
