In the distant future, mankind's reach has gone beyond the stars, but the galaxy remains in turmoil. Though the Century War has ended, Earth and the supreme government NOVA still rule the colonies with an iron fist. For the people of the Venus colonies, their only hope to gain independence lies with the private military company Amaryllis, medically enhanced child soldiers, and a legendary Sentinel called Sentoria. Soon seeds for a new conflict begin to form when the Amaryllis accept a mission to aid a colony on Earth, unaware of the events that'll unfold from this single job. *It's fiction* *Images are used for visual reference*
