Issue #6: Home is Where the War Is

Release Date: April 21, 2010

When the Moya crew arrives at Doien, they realize they weren't the only ones to respond to Doien's distress call. The day before, a group of Peacekeepers (who deserted shortly after the Peacekeeper-Scarran War) were able to drive off the invaders, a species called the Grennij who come from beyond the Uncharted Territories. The Moya crew and the group of deserted Peacekeepers must now work together to fend off an incoming charge of 300 Grennij ships.

A Peacekeeper medic determines that, though she is still breathing, Noranti doesn't have a life force.

Pilot talks to his family and confesses that he came aboard Moya willingly.

Issue #7: Next Stop, Grennij Village

Release Date: May 19, 2010

Crichton, Jothee, and Sikozu go behind enemy lines. They discover a massive Grennij military base seemingly built in a matter of hours. However, the base's design is not fit for the Grennij.

Aeryn stays with the Peacekeepers to aid in the air assault, and she finds herself defending the teachings of Yemahl.

Back on Moya, Chiana contacts Roiin and pleads for Deke's life. She tells him that they can be together if he drops the hunt, but Roiin refuses.

Due to his role in the liberation of Doien, Pilot finally earns his father's respect.
