Description

Introducing the first of three in a new Blade Runner mini-series, exploring and expanding the Blade Runner universe with a whole new home planet!

Sickened by the seemingly never-ending war on the far-off planet of Kathanlia, a squad of 12 Nexus 6 Combat Replicants, led by their human NCO, go AWOL in an attempt to escape and live out their days in peace, preferably on some sun kissed outer world colony. To finance their dream, they plan to rob a corrupt Tyrell syndicate Executive and erase their records before disappearing. Learning of their desertion and theft, the CEO sends out a team of Corporate Blade Runners to retire them all with extreme prejudice.

Now to earn their retirement, they're going to have to fight for it...
