• Centuries before the rise of the first Interstellar Confederacy, a distant world located on the galaxy's outer spiral remained home to the oldest known sentient species. With a system of fertile planets under the warmth of binary suns at their disposal, the earliest and most ancient of all races gave birth to the first Galactic Empire. But often times the most wonderful potential gives rise to the most vehement hatred, and such was the case for this self-contained paradise. As the empire fell into disrepair and its inhabitants went to war over and over again, a few solitary pioneers set out to escape the bloodshed. Centuries later, the origin of their races a distant memory, these forgotten sons and daughters are called upon to take up arms when the world of their distant origin begins to extend its influence once again. Confronted by Christopher Erendall's relentless Breakaway soldiers, the Interstellar Confederacy of five worlds and two races stands at the brink of destruction. In search of the one man he knows to be equal to the task of saving them, General Jeremiah Rankin despatches soldiers to the distant past where they recruit Michael Terrenias to lead their cause. Stranded in an unfamiliar time with unknown allies and enemies alike, Michael uncovers truths he could not have imagined as Christopher and his shadowy superiors wage war against the Confederacy from a distant world known only as Zakiri.
