This is The Gossamer NebulaThe Southern Colonies, Book #2:(The Southern Colonies are located in Southern Constellations as viewed from the Earth)The intrepid children of the Gossamer Nebula have decided to help the 5 Southern Hyperborean ancestral colonies to defend themselves against the Hyraxian ships sent to destroy them. Unable to deter them, the President of Teraxii ordered their artificially intelligent starship to be upgraded in technology & weaponry to give them a better chance of success, but one more problem arose. Six crew members elected to remain on Teraxii, leaving the twelve-year-old captain with only 5 others on board. Fortunately, seven courageous students had petitioned the President to become part of Kevin’s crew. From the onset, the southern mission was plagued with problems. A stowaway & an entrance to another dimension are the least of their challenges. A mysterious dark ship of unknown intention, new enemies, a graveyard of ships & new deadly long-range dreadnoughts are major challenges, but they don’t compare to the discovery of another ominous Hyraxian armada. Three crew members will be lost & four more will volunteer to join, but can this crew of children save the colonial worlds? Can they rise to meet the new challenges they face?...
