It has been five centuries since we left. Our home planet was no longer sufficient, so many shortcomings and problems, hindrances of our advancement. Now, we live in the Empirica Galactica, the government centered around the Glaupac galaxy and its main planet, the Capitol of the Empire, known as Medissera. I had lived on this fair planet for all of my 16 years in blissful ignorance. Until my 17th birthday, when I looked behind the curtain. When I discovered that my perfect world had never been perfect. You wouldn't expect me to stand by and do nothing, would you?
