The Departure - Joshua Wheelon

The rebels are evading capture so far while hiding on the ice planet. Meanwhile one of the water planets that supplies water for most of the federation is tainted when a large meteor strikes the planet poisoning the water. It is up to a soldier named Ethan and his sister to save the animals on the planet that are dying from the poisoned water and find a new home for them.

Arliss and a few others set out on a mission to get clean water for the rebels from a casino that is in Asiatic-Russian territory. And Paula Priest is getting a feel for being a rebel, hunting, cooking, and falling in love with a handsome soldier. And all leading to her getting to Captain her own ship! 

Alex Harper's plan is coming together with General Potter heading towards his trap at planet Earth but a plague is beginning to spread throughout the entire universe. No planet in the Federation or Asiatic-Russian Alliance has escaped the plague. Will the rebels fall into the same trap as Potter as a fleet of theirs is headed towards Earth as well. Will the doctors find a cure for the plague that is destroying civilization as they know it?
