Azrom, Razzna, and New Lassa form an alliance to create a superpower. The Dreridians, not willing to have their reign disrupted, add themselves to the list. The enemy continues their sneak attacks across the five solar systems, disrupting trade. When they hit the neutral zone and steal two planet bombs, every empire joins forces to send them back from where they came. Outsiders need permission to play with the big guns. And they didn't ask.

Our favorite hot mess leaders are back with bigger problems impacting entire empires. New Lassa has finally settled into galactic trade under Chardon's leadership. Everything was going great until representatives from four planets arrive unannounced, begging for help. His former mate, Sestis, acquired Regency over their system before her untimely death. Now the responsibility lands on him. He barely rules New Lassa. Taking on a whole solar system is asking a bit much. To make matters worse, a new relentless enemy leaves carnage in their wake across the five solar systems. And the Dreridians have declared it not their problem. Until the alien empire hits their home world. If a galactic war breaks out, each race in the five solar systems will have to unite and fend off this new threat.

Earth is a devastated post-apocalyptic wasteland. Water is scarce, animals are extinct, and nothing grows in the contaminated black soil. The planet litigator wants to end all life after seeing what humanity has become in the face of near extinction. Three former government leaders decide that to create a new world order he must be eliminated. A group of human and alien allies think they can change the Litigator's mind. With the clash of opposing ideals, a new battle for Earth erupts. And that makes it a lot harder to sway the Litigator who has Earth's fate in his hands.

Power can destroy the ties of an entire race. With the Razznians defeated, another battle has come to an end, yet no one feels like a winner. New Lassa is devastated from Chardon using his power in an attempt to save it. Azrom is in shambles from the Razznian armada's surprise attack, leaving the palace crumbling and their people impoverished. Planet Razzna itself has had its surface razed, forcing the population to flee, which leaves a bad taste on everyone's palate. Halfar may have gone too far with his attack. With so many secrets filled with animosity and shame now brought to light, both Azrom and New Lassa must face their own demons. Making matters worse, commerce from all three planets have ground to a crawl, alerting the Dreridians who run the trade organizations. They want compensation knowing none of them are in any shape to comply. To do so, drastic measures would have to be taken.

The alien enemy launches the first strike ahead of schedule, starting a bloody, drawn out war. Humans, Karysilans and rogue Relliants join forces to defend Earth. The outcome isn't looking in their favor. Out of fear and desperation, all the players initiate their own agendas while the facilities seal themselves off; refusing to engage in the fight, infuriating Captain Darnizva. He's tried to unite humanity for half a century and now realizes it was all for nothing. With no word of reinforcements from his home planet, Mankind's extinction seems to be imminent.

Dark secrets on the threat of being exposed are the core of two alien leaders' conflict. Chardon, leader the Lassian race emerging from the brink of extinction. Halfar, the supreme ruler of Azrom passing the time on Earth as the head of a major crime organization. He's willing to do anything to keep Chardon; and has. When a rogue faction of Halfar's armada devises a coup during his conquest of Earth, the two leaders must decide; Should they remain enemies or Join forces to save an unprepared Earth? A maelstrom of deceit and drawn battle lines is set in motion when the seeds of Chardon's and Halfar's inner circles own convictions add more strife to the cause. And now the Razznians, bitter about a broken deal have come for a fight. Can everyone come together again as a united front? The battle causes a collapse in the intergalactic trade system run by the Dreridians who demand compensation, with interest. Compliance requires drastic measures for all. But Azrom has bigger problems as bonds laced with contrition are holding on by a thread. With so many secrets filled with animosity and shame, both Azrom and New Lassa must face their own demons.

The conquest of Earth has been thwarted and there is a galactic sigh of relief. Chardon takes his rightful place as leader of New Lassa while Halfar returns to Azrom to assess the political damage. A new conflict arises as the reptilian race of planet Razzna comes to collect on a broken deal made long ago by Chardon's deceased mate, Sestis. Meanwhile Modas is brewing a rebellion based on his own selfish agenda. Chardon and Halfar struggle to find a strategy that will convince their people to learn from each other, put aside their differences, and join forces once more as the Razznians lurk in the horizon ready for war.

Another battle has come to an end but no one feels like a winner. New Lassa is devastated from Chardon using his power in an attempt to save it.

Razzna's surface is now razed forcing them to flee, which leaves a bad taste on everyone's palate. Halfar may have gone too far. Commerce grinds to a crawl, and that does not sit well with the Dreridians who run the trade organizations. They want compensation knowing all three planets are in no shape to comply. To do so, drastic measures would have to be taken. Family, friendship, rivalry, betrayal, lust. These are bonds that can forever tie yet easily broken. With so many secrets filled with animosity and shame, both Azrom and New Lassa must face their own demons.
