The planet Amnelia was a world of silver spires and shattered peace. For centuries, its people had been locked in a bitter war with the moon colony of Blazar over the jurisdiction of the celestial body Mahsah.

They swarmed toward Amnelia, their giant fish-like hulls casting long, terrifying shadows over the capital cities.
