In the dark and distant future, in a galaxy far away, two omni-corporations waged war for supremacy. During a critical battle, one of them unleased an experimental bioweapon called the Darkphage. Inevitably, and almost immediately, they lost complete control of it and it spread across entire systems, consuming life by the trillions. Realizing their mistake, the omnicorps used star-killer missiles in order to halt the spread of the Darkphage and right away withdrew from the half-destroyed galaxy, leaving it in a state of anarchy.
