Dark Shepherd - Shepherd Moon
The Dark Shepherd of the title is a shepherd moon, a phrase first coined for the little moons in Saturn's rings that, due to their orbital rotation and gravitational resonance, help to maintain the ring structure and sweep lanes clear of debris.
This moon is in a spinning cloud of dust and debris that the protagonists at first take for a solar system in the throes of formation.
Buried deep inside the cloud it maintains a relatively clear and safe area. Orbiting the moon is an ancient alien habitat harboring something unique.
