Le Grand Vaisseau, aussi vaste que Jupiter, a longtemps voyage autour de notre galaxie, en abritant dans ses flancs immenses des milliards d'êtres vivants de toute origine qui cohabitaient harmonieusement sous la férule de milliers de capitaines quasi immortels. Mais cette époque est désormais révolue. Apres avoir survécu in extremis a la revole d'une partie de ses passagers, l'immense carcasse a change de direction et cherche a panser ses plaies. Elle fonce désormais vers une gigantesque région de l'espace ou les étoiles sont si rares que le ciel est aussi sombre que de l'encre. C'est un voyage sans retour. Pendant que les capitaines et les rémoras s'efforcent de réparer la coque, le navire s'enfonce peu a peu dans la noirceur. La, dans ce vide étrange, se cache la plus grande menace que le Vaisseau ait jamais affrontée. Car la vie peut prendre des formes inattendues, et l'entité mystérieuse qui veille au fond du puits dans les étoiles a appris a être patiente.
