In the story of Gala, a game called "The year of Conquerors" was created by the Gods for all to play. Every five years, people set out to raid other planets or protect their own to earn the respect of a God. If chosen, that person will be made an apprentice and will obtain new God-given abilities. With each passing game, the more dangerous the game becomes. Some planets are even forced into taking extreme measures to ensure the survival of their race.
