Nävis is a young human who grew up alone on a wild planet, unaware of the existence of any other members of her species. Her encounter with Sillage, a vast space convoy bringing together thousands of alien peoples, completely changes her life and introduces her to a complex galactic civilization. Possessing a unique trait that makes her difficult for telepathic species to detect, she gradually becomes an agent entrusted with sensitive missions. From planet to planet, Nävis faces political conflicts, injustice, and economic interests while pursuing a more personal quest: discovering her origins and understanding what became of humanity.

Album 1
The wake is a multiracial convoy of spaceships in search of planets to colonize. The Hottards, the people of the convoy, must absolutely settle somewhere. The wake grants them a planet covered with jungles and oceans that is not inhabited - according to its criteria - by any intelligent species. But the first Hottard who arrives on Nävis, a wild child of a race previously unknown to the wake: the Men?
Album 2
The young Navis joined the Sillage convoy. As the only representative of the human race, she is particularly sought out.The leaders of the convoy offer her to become a special agent.
Album 3
In the wake, the multiracial convoy of spaceships travelling through space in search of worlds to be colonized, has just discovered during a surveillance visit on Tri-jj.768, inhabited by the Puntas, an abnormally rapid evolution. A new race, strangely resembling that of Navis, lives there and controls the Puntas. Where do they come from? Navis believes that they have finally discovered representatives of his race. But Navis will discover that the new inhabitants of the place are the result of genetic crosses between a human and a queen Puntas. Moreover, it seems that their civilization, initiated by a space traveller who spends his time in cryogenic sleep, has no other purpose than to build a rocket that would allow him to return home.
Album 4
The wake scutters sent to Hurumaru have disappeared, so a new team is leaving to find out whether this planet can have contact with the wake or whether its development is still too primitive. Navis is of course part of the journey and she will discover how corruption has undermined the first expedition. Many people are trying to divert the intentions of the wake to their benefit, especially in the upper spheres. The fight will not stop on this small medieval planet.
Album 5
Snivel and Bobo have reserved a surprise for Navis: they have set up an exhibition dedicated to the history of humanity! But in the midst of a vernissage, a terrorist pops up and explodes! Navis then discovers the history of the Ftoross. From absolute poverty, decimated by illness in the general indifference of the convoy, the Ftoross are reduced to terrorism to make known their fate. Their ultimate hope: threaten to remove Navis, which alone represents an entire race.
Album 6
If her shuttle had not been sabotaged, Navis would not have fallen on this planet where Mekkas have always persecuted the Gunjin people. She would never have interfered with their Hembras, who, on the pretext of protection, live in a certain form of submission. And she would not have had to go through this world in ruins full of traps in search of Snivel, removed by the coldest of enemies she ever had to fight. Finally, she would never have thought that cynicism could be pushed to such a paroxysm, playing with people's lives as if they were mere fireworks.
Album 7
Navis needs Rib'Wund to dismantle the traffic of the planet that gnaws. Alas, the penitentiary in which he is imprisoned is in the midst of a riot! Entering it is strictly forbidden, but that does not stop Navis. Inside, she will quickly realize that she is not trained to undergo such a unleashion of violence. By fighting to survive, she will learn more about the white bands that strangle her body. But at the other end of the universe, someone watches and cannot resolve to let the human take so many risks. He plans to get her out of this district of High Insecurity alive.
Album 8
Navis is upset! The funeral of the handler Mackel-Loos and the revelations of the prison's cyber doctor, who confessed to having crossed the road of other humans, plunged him into a disturbing mutism. His friends Bobo and Snivel decide to take him in search of the said humans, despite the warning of the authorities of Sillage.
Album 9
To forget the disappointment of his encounter with humans, the Special Agent Navis plunges into a new mission.

Through its action, it endangers the entire convoy.

Navis discovers that his oldest enemy, Heillig, is condemned to serve as an engine for his gîte ship. Assigned to residence since the disaster of the Constituent's ship, Nävis makes it only at his head and decides to release Heillig to return it to his people: the Hottards. They now live on the planet where our heroine spent his childhood. By going down there, Navis sees his past resurrected.
Album 11
Dismissed from his duties since his trial, Nävis no longer works for the Constituent and gradually dark in bitterness. Until the day when a lawyer hires him.

On the pretext of saving his friend, Nävis thinks that all blows are allowed.
Album 12
Nävis is in the possession of Soimitt, the hired killer who had manipulated her until she pushed her to destroy part of Sillage's admiral ship. She hopes to extract information likely to have her trial reviewed. But the killer's brain is full of psychic blockers and the only system that can make him talk is... a planet!
Album 13
Nävis takes part in the Cannonball de l'Espace, an illegal race where all the blows are allowed and her only way to reach discreetly Bobo. She intends to ask her why he lied to her and that he reveals to her who financed her clandestinely while she was an agent of the wake... Unchecked verbal slippages and taking maximum risks will be on the program of this race to the truth.
Album 14
Nävis is about to meet with the superior authorities of Sillage. But to join them, it would still be necessary to stay alive. For a murderer has been hired, the most terrible she has ever known. She herself gives herself little chance of escaping from it. Knowing that this is perhaps her last fight, Nävis decides where the duel will take place. A place dear to her...
Album 15
As a result of the attack on the Constituent, Nävis refused to become an agent again, tired of the corruption that reigns among the highest ranks of the authorities. From now on, she chained up small jobs to support her needs and continue her search for other humans. Until the day she responded to the announcement of a billionaire offering a very well paid mission, and without danger, apparently...
Album 16
Nävis has a son, Yanno, raised by his worst enemy, Consul Atsukau. Still under the shock of the news, she has to face an unprecedented danger: in the grip of a powerful psychic force, the entire population of Sillage is plunged into catalepsy. Insensitive to mental powers, Nävis and her son are the only two to be able to save the convoy from a fatal diversion to a black hole.
Album 17
The Magister entrusted him with a secret mission which she was forced to accept. She must steal an exceptional object in a museum, on a world in the midst of civil war. All this would be close to the routine if this operation did not take place on Trjj 68, the planet of Clement Vildieu, her first great love and the father of her child.
Album 18
There is a second official human being on board the wake and the council must vote whether or not it grants it Silian citizenship. Nävis very much hopes so and takes his responsibility to convince him. But very quickly, this concern becomes secondary because an extremely powerful virus from the Ornospheric coveted by the Magister and recovered by Bobo releases a destructive virus.
Album 19
Succession is confronted with his first independent convoy decision: should he welcome in his midst two representatives of a species hunted by the Constituent's shock troops and presented as one of the worst threats in the whole universe? This species would be able to control time. This is a power that Nävis and Bobo, who hunt the thief of the ornosphere, would need.
Album 20
While Nävis is on the track of one of these mysterious metamorphs, she accidentally puts her hands on a case concerning her. Intrigued, she decides to steal it and crack it with the help of Juliette.This file is an archive document recovered from Juniville 08, a ship where our heroine lived before being enlisted by Sillage. Who is she really and where does she come from?
Album 21
Nävis is returning in strength and helping extraterrestrial migrants. It has much to do to unravel the stakes of a problem that never seems to be important enough to mobilize those who can solve it. By discovering, floating in space, 76 corpses piled in a box barely pressurized to pass a teleportal towards a better life than they will ever know, Nävis is deeply marked. This is not the first time that unfortunate people try to leave their planet at war and end up vaporized. Nävis refuses to close their eyes and lets talk about all of his humanity.
Album 22
Our Sillage agent has come a long way since her beginnings. She finds herself at the heart of a much larger conspiracy than her mission of apprehension of a leader who has caused the death of migrants. When Nävis finally manages to get hold of the fugitive refusing to appear at his convocation, it quickly turns out that the latter is sufficiently wealthy and has the right connections to succeed in getting away without condemnation. Nävis then goes beyond the limits of his burden by being more aggressive than necessary. Our favorite human has become more and more difficult to endure injustice.
Album 23
Nävis is on a mission beyond the wall of desolation behind which Follower has no power and where his agents are not welcome. If she is unmasked, she can expect the worst. The journey runs short and, to get out of it, she must associate herself with a passenger with the sad reputation. But Nävis has nothing but to make these rumors because she judges people for what they are.
Album 24
Nävis and his companions make a stop in the mining town of Girbook, the last stage before the dangerous wilderness of Massilhik. The team met Sôm, a small spook with a well hung tongue, who advised them not to go. His friend, a child who worked in the mine next door, recently disappeared. The area is filled with monsters... some more human than others.
