Summary
What happened to the rest of Class VII after sending Rean, Valimar and Celine to the mountains?
This story explores the long journey south undertaken by Laura, Jusis and Emma directly following the end of Cold Steel 1. The odds are against them, and they have no choice but to rely on each others' skills and wits to arrive safely in Legram without being captured by Alliance forces. How does the invasion of Trista shape their perception of war? Of Erebonia, and their unique situations within it? This is a critical turnpoint in each of their developments as young adults, but introspection is weighed against more practical, immediate trials that test their abilities in combat and survival. The students who eventually arrive in Legram are far removed from the versions of themselves who fled Trista.

Summary
Following the civil war, the Albarea name ascends to the height of political leadership within the nobility, gaining numerous enemies in the process. Things finally come to a head four years later when a string of assassination attempts prompts the Imperial government to investigate. Jusis, however, takes matters into his own hands. Bargaining to keep the Imperial Army off Kreuzen lands, he's given limited time to solve the case on his own, with the help of the Imperial government’s best investigator. Working together, Jusis and Machias must find the people responsible for the attacks before time runs out—or Jusis loses his life.
A darker take on Erebonian politics post-CSII, where we consider the implications of the fact that Jusis now leads the nobility. Intending for this to be a longer story centered on mystery, intrigue, and of course, the chaotic romance between our main characters.

Summary
Nobody's hands remained clean by the end of the civil war. Machias experiences his first time killing someone in battle, before even hitting eighteen, and isn't sure what to make of it. Fortunately or unfortunately, he's in good company with the rest of Class VII, many of whom only went through the change merely weeks or months prior.
Jusis especially will not let him take this alone. A night spent in catharsis is sorely needed on both sides, he finds, in the form of a physical affection he didn't know he was capable of.

Summary
Transmissions from all over the Mid and Outer Rims disappear when Separatist forces claim a vital signal relay station on Bespin. Naval engagement from the 104th and 501st ensues above planet to make way for the deposition of 212th ground troops intending to take back the floating platform and reestablish communications across the galaxy. But the station is drowning in droids, leaving Obi-Wan with little choice but to accept the stakes and infiltrate by less savory means. Deception and stealth are key while the enemy takes the advantage in numbers, but one wrong move results in more than just mission failure unless assistance from the two naval units can intervene - provided Plo Koon and Anakin Skywalker can defeat the Separatist fleet before time runs out.

Summary
Rufus constantly impresses upon Lias that professionalism and distance are key to his approval. Eventually Lias gives up and listens. Eventually Rufus realizes what his little brother was missing all along.
Inspired by that one tiny scene in-game where Rufus complains about feeling like Lias is slowly becoming more distanced from him. No shit, my man, have you been paying any attention at all to the way you've been treating him? The boy would probably sacrifice an arm just to have you smile at him once.
