In the far future of an alternate world of our own, a surprising find in a charted region of space will unearth an empire older than the Terran Galactic Republic itself, a discovery that will have far reaching consequences for the entire galaxy torn apart by war and madness. Far too many know this to be the case, and as such, devastation rages across the galaxy. Armies of different species and ideals clash for control or survival, and more than not, the innocent are cut down in swaths too horrifying to comprehend. The loss of life on a galactic scale is so immense that many have become indifferent to it all, willing to send thousands to their deaths for sometimes the simplest of reasons or most ingrained of beliefs. Smaller interstellar dominions are embroiled in a dispute between the Carathean Union and the Terran Galactic Republic.
