It is the year 3492. Mankind, facing overpopulation on Earth, has conquered the stars and colonized the Talonian Rift, a small region of space where a cluster of habitable planets were discovered and claimed by early explorers. Far removed from the cataclysmic violence of their home planet, these small settlements grew into seven new civilizations, each a beacon of shining light during Earth's darkest days.

But the relative peace cannot last for long.

As an unstable alliance of nations assemble to confront their adversary, a series of sinister plots are carried out which threaten to provoke multiple military conflicts throughout the galaxy.

Heroes emerge in a desperate attempt to prevent the inevitable mass carnage before the situation spirals out of control. But concealed in the shadows, an ancient dark power ascends...
