The 22nd Century promised an age of peace and progress. For decades, humanity thrived alongside alien races, building a unified empire that stretched across the galaxy. Yet that harmony was merely an illusion, orchestrated by those who swore to preserve it. Galactic war erupted. Driven by unchecked ambitions of the elite, the conflict consumed entire star systems under the pretense of self-preservation—a convenient lie masking their insatiable hunger for power.
