Auva doesn't think she'll ever do anything great. She failed her test pilot's exam, so instead she's headed to the Moon to make a quiet living like her parents wanted for her.
But the universe has other plans. Auva's shuttle is caught in an accidental warp crash, and when the atoms get un-scrambled, she ends up on the other craft instead--a spaceship full of aliens in the Andromeda Galaxy. Or, as they call it, Challinor.
Auva can barely get her bearings before the ship is attacked by mysterious assailants, and she puts her skills to the test piloting an enormous combat mech called a PT in order to defend herself.
Then she discovers the ship's crew have been lying to her--they're actually space pirates being tailed by the galactic police. Despite discovering a talent for PT piloting, or "diving", Auva is definitely in over her head.
But space pirates are the least of the Challinor Empire's worries, in the midst of both a war against invading extragalactic aliens and unsettling glitches in spacetime which are causing the warp issues.
The fate of both Challinor and the Milky Way rests on the shoulders of those brave enough to undertake a journey to set things right in the fabric of spacetime. And accompanied by a crew of quirky companions to back her up, Auva might be just the Diver the Local Group needed all along.
