It's been twenty-five years since the Kraal appeared from another dimension out of time and space, sweeping across all the galactic worlds and causing the death of 98% of the population in a matter of months. The military Corps of the Union of Stars responded with a "cleansing" strategy, raining nuclear devastation on the already ravaged worlds. What was once a vibrant and bright civilization became a treacherous intergalactic wasteland, with new, perilous creatures emerging from the void storms caused by the cleansing. While a few fortunate individuals found refuge in underground shelters, most survivors struggle amidst the ruins of their past, looking to the stars and yearning for what used to be, as a few dominant groups battle for control, such as the Star Rangers and the Wardens.
