The standard earth year is 2553. In the last two hundred years empires, small regimes have been coming out of the woodwork. They fight for smaller and smaller patches of space to better exploit their ever-expanding greed. W'llarro, Will for short, is a bounty hunter sanctioned by the massive secret war society known mostly in legend and referred to only as the Guild. Will is a five hundred-year-old expatriate from the Bendie Paccoran Empire. A magnificent fighter and noble man in the ancient faith of Bendie, a cloistered order of scholar-warriors whose best weapon is said to be their unparalleled gift of total clarity. Now having left his empire behind him, he uses his superior skills to hunt down criminals in the name of justice – by Guild standards. One such quarry he chases doggedly throughout the long stretching outposts and safety ports of the outer rims. Trying desperately to evade him they haplessly run smack dab into the middle of the Valkk, coolly efficient armor-clad defenders, genetically bred for fighting specifically. On the other side of the Galaxy, a peaceful race known as the Opaccans. Having forgotten violence, the Opaccans Engineered the Valkk to be their arms in times of war and terror. They have existed for more than a thousand years for that sole purpose. On their own path, the Valkk will themselves find that many among them are capable of the very evil they'd been bred to despise. And the Opaccans possess a secret that threatens to tear the fabric of their society apart. Together the Guild and the Valkk exist in the Galaxy that seems destined to fall by its very design.
