The story opens with the main antagonist, Searius, getting his orders to seek out the Tibari. The Tibari are inhabitants of a planet called Zantibar. When I originally wrote this book, the homeworld was called Zan Tibar. But as I started working on the sequel, I changed it to Zantibar. One word, instead of two. It just sounded better to me. Anyways, the Tibari High Council created the Spectre, sending groups of them to the various sectors of space to locate resources to restore and protect their world. There is an entire backstory to the reason for the Spectre to exist.

There is a little more to the story than is written there, but that is the gist of it.
