During this period, two galactic factions reigned supreme in this tumultuous age, The Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance. However, disagreements soon led to war, in which the two factions have fought each other for 150 years.

The saga follows the destiny of these two heroes and the many people around them, as they learn the true nature of the war that affects their lives and everything that drives it forward.
