Humanity has taken over the entirety of the Milky Way galaxy in its quest to expand far outside of its own arm of the galaxy, and in doing so have also joined hands with many of the alien species living within the massive galaxy. Sadly, as humanity expanded to the stars so too did their desire for power, and with the coming increases in alien species joining the new Galatic union, new religions start to appear, which would later see to humanity forming the Ascendancy; a religious based government that had started with the best intentions to bring religious unity to the Milky Way. However, power corrupts and humanity quickly started to warp the ideals of the new government and instead formed a belief where humanity was the top, and all other races were subservient -with some circles even going so far as to call the aliens slaves- which would lead to the Ascendancy of Humanity becoming the dominant empire, but as all evil, it doesn't last as now, the outer core worlds including a few mid-core worlds began to rebel in defense of their alien friends and allies, and before long a full-scale war was waged between the Ascendancy of Humanity and the Galactic Confederation of Worlds. And this is the tale of two people who were drawn into the civil war, each for a different reason, and each with their own motivations for fighting. One an alien woman fighting for a potential future, and the other a human man seeking to honour his family and homeworld.
