For ten million years, the galaxy has been divided between rival powers descended from the ancient Lyran expansion.
One side believes civilization must be unified through order, hierarchy, and controlled expansion. The other claims to defend freedom, sovereignty, and collective protection—but has increasingly used military force to bring neutral worlds into its coalition.
Both sides speak of liberation. Both sides commit atrocities. Both sides preserve heroic histories that omit their own betrayals.
The war spreads across generations and reincarnations. Soldiers who die on one side are reborn into the other. Lovers become enemies. Children inherit memories of battles they never fought. Civilizations change names, bodies, languages, and governments, but the conflict continues.
