Synopsis

The far distant future mankind has spread across the stars and intertwined their species with that of the other races they have come across creating a new hybrid humanity ruled by the Kyshen Empire. The empire holds the world of Ares captive for its abundance of a rare metal that allows for the creation of the engines used for inter-stellar travel and terraforming of planets. The world is a barren desert wasteland ravaged by the wars fought over it and life cannot exist on its surface. The story follows the captain of a MACC a giant tank capable of surviving the iron storms that scour the planet preventing any plants from taking root. He will have to escort a potential savior for the planet from the city of Andromeda to Eden, the last place on the planet with any remaining trees or planets on the surface. They will battle against beasts and monsters from the subterranean jungles and oceans, nightmare war-machines still active from the war that destroyed the surface of the planet and tribes descended from the planets native inhabitants driven to savagery by the cruelty of their world. The battle is not just against plasma and blades but against greed, hopelessness and the cruelty of man.
