Imperial Guardians (2026-)

A new Galactic Union has formed, and its stability is enforced by a covert team. Recruited by the Inhuman Maximus, the operatives Gamora, Captain Marvel, Amadeus Cho, Darkhawk, and the Cosmic Ghost Rider are tasked with maintaining order through deniable actions. Their first crisis is a rogue Kree Grand Admiral launching an assault on the homeworld of Hala. Internal fractures threaten the unit: Darkhawk’s consciousness is fracturing, and the Cosmic Ghost Rider’s compliance is unreliable. Each member must navigate Maximus's directives while questioning his true motives for assembling them. The cold metal of their ship hums with unspoken tension.
