You have plunged into a galaxy deep in war. Fought light years
beyond the present in the dark future of the Sixth Millennium, the
Empire of the Known Realm is heavily engaged in grim conflict
against cunning enemies struggling for their own survival amidst
the savage stars. Though there are many ruthless rivals to contend
with, the main conflict centers around two great powers: the
Imperial Trident Empire and the Dark Forces of the Triskelion. Both
were once of human ancestry, but long ago, the Triskelion
abandoned Mankind, forsaking their humanness to become their
merciless adversaries. Lead by Ratava the Revengeful, Ruler of
Ruin, and Khan Kaang, the God of Gore Commander of the Kraken
Corps, they are fiercely determined to existence erase the Trident
blood line down to the last human chromosome.
Not only is each side waging war with the other in the Great Galactic
Crusade for the soul of Mankind, they are also defending their
Empire against horrifying outside adversaries with their own
agenda for the annihilation of the Universe.
The adventure before you and the Great Galactic Crusade that you
are about to undertake, chronicles the Legends and Legions of
these two embattled Empires and that of their allies in their race for
everlasting salvation or eternal extinction. Racing across eternity,
every infinite inch is measured in human lives. And for Mankind,
time and souls are running out at the speed of light.
Spanning timeless dimensions and fathomless space, it is a war of
attrition waged between the Apostates of the Apocalypse and the
ancient Apostles of Armageddon. It is an Age of dark science and
deep secrets. A time when the Legions of the Lord battled the
Dominions of the Dark Forces of the Triskelion raging throughout
the Astral Heavens of Valhalla and the Known Realm, where the
stars have long ago descended into darkness.
Yet to conquer the Cosmos completely means to triumph in the
holy quest for the lost Codelax, the divine celestial instrument that
is the creator of souls. For whomsoever possesses it, holds the fate
of all else. For with its sacred powers, it is decided who is reborn
into the physical world and whose soul is forever cast into the black
void of the Necromancer, Natas, Triskelion BlackLord of the Dark
Domain.
Via the might of the divine instrument of immortality, the Emperor
in Valhalla can manifest the Living Spirit into the Known Realm. This
power of everlasting life proves too alluring for Ratava. The
Seraphim is cast from heaven, but not before she steals the creator
of souls. The Emperor in Valhalla sends his only son, Prince Sinjin,
to retrieve the Codelax and offer Ratava everlasting rule in her own
Universe. Banished for her disobedience, Ratava, as gratitude for
this gesture, beheads the Prince, eats his flesh and drinks his blood
from his skull. She exiles his bones to the Dungeons of Despair and
keeps the Codelax for herself.
Not trusting Ratava, the Prince encrypts the Codelax with divine
instructions contingent upon his demise, and when Ratava tampers
with it, great holes rip apart the Cosmos. Other dimensions of space
and time collide, destroying her Universe. In a fit of rage, she hurls
the Prince’s skull at the Codelax and both vanish into oblivion. But
because she contains the sacred molecules of the Prince, she is
immune to the destruction and endowed with Godlike powers.
Damaged by the ‘Goddess of Greed,’ the Codelax seals the
gateway to heaven. The entrance to Valhalla is lost to the Realm
Rift. The Warp Wars begin. Mistrust and division ravage the Realm.
In a desperate attempt to interface with the Emperor, Mankind
performs an experiment that goes horribly wrong. Unleashed is the
Master of the Material Universe, the Machine GOD Cosmocrater,
who seeks to transform Man's spirit into its own elemental militia,
the Megalon. Yet from this disaster, humans advance their
biophysical and metaspiritual evolution beyond mere mortals. Man
is remade with metal/flesh regenerating template technology
leading to the grim discovery that the body can now outlast the
spirit. Marooned in Valhalla, the Emperor can no longer receive the
souls of his chosen ones. Now soulless and Godless, the kingdom
of crusaders falls into ruin and despair as great darkness befalls the
Known Realm. With no means to spiritually replace their dead,
humans are a species destined for extinction.
Entombed within the Codelax until his sacred bones are returned,
Prince Sinjin descends nine of his Seraphim knights into the Known
Realm. There, they prepare the Races of Man for the appointed time
when he shall venture into the physical world to lead the Chosen
Ones out of damnation. Reduced to mortal flesh in the Physical
Realm, Prince Sinjin is honor bound to obey the Laws of Nature set
forth by Cosmocrater, and so is subject to existence erasure
forever should the Codelax fall to the enemies of the Empire.
Meanwhile, made immortal and Godlike in both Universes by the
Codelax, Ratava vows vengeance against the Emperor who exiled
her and unleashes her wrath against all Mankind. Ratava raids the
physical world in revenge, proclaiming herself its new ruler.
Miraculously, the Codelax’s beacon, code named ‘Pale Vector,’ is
traced to a lost world deep in a remote part of the Trident galaxy.
Operation ‘Phantom Finder’ commences as three Star*Ships are
sent on a clandestine mission to the small planet christened KHT-
21. There, astonishing discoveries are made. Discoveries that must
be kept secret at all cost.
