Mercs (2015)
The year is 2046 and the United Earth government has dissolved into the remnants of the U.E. and The Federation of Independent States. In order to counter the numerical superiority of the Federation and their allies the U.E. hires mercenary star ship crews to supplement their forces. This unit is code named Merc Force. MERCS follows the exploits of the most inept team of Mercenaries led by Primo Corvellie and Brice Creed who just happen to have lucked out and stolen the two most advanced star ships in the galaxy the Artemis and the Caladan.

After finding out a Smash and Grab mission to recover a Sark warp drive ahead of time, Primo Corvelli and his team proceed to planet Eden. Once there, they soon discover that the add posting left out many life-threatening details.
With the Caladan and Artemis evading a Disek Base ship in orbit, and Primo and crew trapped on Eden, quick alliances are formed with Varisa, and the UE in an effort to survive. They soon learn that they are sitting on top of a massive Disek base.
Creed teams up with Fiya, and Saber to locate an arms dealer named Hicks on the planet Tragoid. Little do they realize, Hicks is searching for the Olc, an artifact which wiped out the civilization on that world.
The Artemis is tricked into a battle in orbit above Veruna where it is critically damaged. Cybertech mercenaries hit the Artemis with an EMP pulse and trap the crew in the cargo bay, and Commander Denabreo on the planet below.
Varisa battles with the mercenaries trying to gain access to the engine room, while Commander Denabreo tries to turn the tables on Cybertech on Veruna. The stakes get higher when a Cybertech ship enters the system and provides some extra "motivation".
