First draft

The Quiet Edge of Orbits

When a salvage captain on the fringe of a failing trade route finds a derelict courier full of sealed diplomatic records, she expects contraband, not a buried war. The documents point to a long-quiet system whose inhabitants were written out of every official map, and someone is still working to keep it that way. She has to decide whether to sell the truth, bury it, or drag it into the light before the next fleet arrives.
