Space is cold. Revenge is colder.

It is the year 317 of the Celestial Sovereignty Calendar, and the stars bow down to the ironclad rule of the Stellar Primacy. One man sits atop the throne of this galactic empire—the Third Stellaris Emperor.

And Ambrose au Stellaris wants him dead. Dead for having his lineage ripped from his blood. Dead for commanding the murder of his mother, and leaving him freezing, drifting away into the abyss of unknown space.

But to go against the Emperor is to wage war on the entire galaxy itself. Ambrose's revenge would be impossible, until a strange twist of fate brings him to discover a seemingly ancient warship, drifting aimlessly with a crew but no captain.

Boarding the mysterious ship, he finds memories rushing through his mind. Memories from another person, from a different world. Memories of 'Astraia Online', where this very warship served as the beating heart of a top 'Player Alliance', fighting a great many battles in the breathtaking simulations of a 'Sci-Fi MMO' game.

But Ambrose's revenge is no game to him. He will captain this Alliance-class Fleet Carrier, and make full use of its overwhelming power—its arcane weapons, advanced technologies, and high-level NPC crew—to take over the galaxy. One system, one planet, one ship at a time.
