The dream to travel the stars was once thought to bring an age of peace and prosperity. In reality, it brought nothing more than hardship and war. After a century of conflict, an uneasy ceasefire has begun between the Federation and the Independent Alliance.

From within the void, there is a darkness rising, a darkness that may cause the end of both the Federation and the Alliance.
