AD 3580. The Intersolar Commonwealth has spread through the galaxy to over a thousand star systems. It is a culture of rich diversity with a place for everyone. Even death itself has been overcome.

It is slowly consuming the other stars of the galactic core - one day it will devour the entire galaxy.
