250 years after TROS, seven Houses now control the galaxy to quell the temptation of an 'Emperor'. There's a strong militia converting peaceful worlds to their war effort in a protest to the Houses. Between this rock and a hard place, is a small freighter, smuggling their way around the turmoil. Led by Zakra Ipsiine, this crew will play a key role in how the Universe will evolve.

The senate, after realising the position of chancellor holds too much temptation, decide to split the galaxy up into Houses approximately 20 years after the Battle of Exogol, just for a 'splinter group' of extremists to start taking over the neutral worlds 100 years later. Zakra Ipsiine- who disagrees with this 'Regime'- and his crew on the Scipio IX weave their way around a war.
