The future: when engineers utilize force fields to construct invisible spaceships. Miles Wendel and his fellow crewmembers command the small Astral Research Vessel "Altair" and journey to distant stars and nebulae. Their ship, capable of flying at 'hyper speeds' through alternate dimensions, allows them to reach their destinations in minutes.
Their maiden voyage:
Attempting to study a binary star system, identified by the larger star WR104, Miles and his friends encounter alien beings that possess capabilities far beyond Earth technologies. They discover similar beings at a nearby solar system and find themselves amid feuding alien factions who demonstrate that they won't think twice about using their superior powers.
