After the IMC left, the Frontier was left devastated by the war. People had to scavenge for what little they could find. The truly desperate moved to the Outlands, a group of planets on the brink of the known world, wild and untamed. And it was in this final bastion of civilization that the Apex Games were born. People came from all over the Outlands to fight in this blood sport. The competitors could achieve fame and fortune, bringing hope back to the Frontier as crowds cheered their name. These people were more than just fighters. They were Legends.
