Far in the future, condemned criminals and the fatally ill have two choices: to die, or to join the Legion of the Damned, an elite fighting force made up of human legionnaires and cyborg soldiers.

The Hudathans, imprisoned on the very planet they devastated, are on the rise - and this time they have a cyborg army of their own.
