Imagine a clone of our world, but further into the future where we are in the early stages of space exploration with faster-than-light travel. Terra has a United Space Force, and Lieutenant Major Brandon Xyphus has landed himself in the brig a second time. After the supernova of the nearby star, Dega, which mysteriously doesn't annihilate the solar system, he is given a rare third chance at his career as a pilot. The supernova altered the course of the solar system, and he is tasked by an elite autonomous group to pilot them to go and destroy the asteroid that the sun is now headed toward.
Along the way, he meets Dr. Tobias Pherringer whom has a time-traveling plan to save humanity, which he claims is doomed to fail in the near future, whether or not this mission succeeds. He explains that Brandon and seven others are to survive and, with some technological aid, are destined to repopulate Terra in the future. Only, Terra has dramatically changed, becoming the scifi-fantasy setting for the author's tabletop role-playing game full of the classic fantasy races, magic, and much more.
