Star Crusades

Black Widows: Episode 4 is the fourth story in a thrilling science fiction series about the infamous all-female mercenary unit. Aboard their heavily-armed ship Medusa, they embark on secretive missions throughout the crumbling Confederacy as it wages a terrible and bloody civil war. Syala and the Black Widows have located a rich prize hidden deep inside the debris filled remnants of the Kharybdis debris field. It is a massive transport ship, crippled by an unknown enemy and ripe for plunder. If their information is correct it could leave each of them wealthy beyond their dreams. Syala is not interested in loot, all she wants is the information hidden inside, information that could lead to finding her missing sister. The Widows are not the only ones in the area though, and when a familiar warship arrives the routine salvage quickly turns into a desperate battle for survival deep in space. The Widows are outclassed and outgunned in every way, and it's a battle only one ship will escape from. Black Widows is serialised over multiple short-read episodes per season, in the same fashion as a TV series. The first season of six episodes is also available in one complete box set.
