Clear Skies follows a trio of down-and-out misfits who've seen no end of bad luck. John Rourke is the obstinate captain of the Clear Skies, a Tempest class battleship manufactured by the downtrodden Minmatar race of New Eden. Rourke's attitude toward his hazardous chosen lifestyle is cavalier, although this does not sit well with his friends among the crew.

These likeable dropouts from the entrenched corporate lifestyle of New Eden eke out a meager living on trade runs and the odd courier job here and there. Still, they manage to find humor in their grim lot as they narrowly avoid being blown out of the stars by pirates, hired thugs, or whatever threat awaits them on the other side of the next jump gate. This is life aboard the Clear Skies.

If you have everything, you have everything to lose. John Rourke and his crew run the shiny new Maelstrom. But when Mr. Smith has a new job offer, everything changes and pushes New Eden again to the edge of chaos. JR, Charlie, and Sol are back for one more adventure, that takes them from a dull daily grind to trying to save an entire star system that's been taken hostage. Time to trust in rust for one last time.

La vie de Thomas Veil, photographe à succès, est anéantie du jour au lendemain. Un soir, alors qu'il dîne au restaurant avec son épouse, il se rend aux toilettes et à son retour à table, d'autres convives, les serveurs ne le reconnaissent plus. Revenant chez lui, son épouse, accompagnée d'un autre homme, nie l'avoir jamais rencontré. Ses cartes de crédit ne fonctionnent plus, son meilleur ami meurt et sa mère victime quelque temps auparavant d'une attaque cérébrale est incapable d'attester de son existence, même son identification par l'administration fédérale semble n'avoir jamais laissé trace. Suivi par des hommes vraisemblablement dangereux, Thomas Veil pense que cette traque a un rapport avec une photographie qu'il a faite un an plus tôt et qui montre la pendaison de quatre hommes en Amérique du Sud par des soldats américains. Toujours en possession du négatif, il fuit, se méfiant de tous, tentant de rassembler les preuves de sa propre existence et de cerner les motifs de l'organisation capable d'une machination à si grande échelle. Sa vie plonge alors progressivement dans la paranoïa jusqu'au point qu'il s'aperçoit qu'il n'est peut-être pas qui il croit avoir été jusqu'alors...
