The first human interstellar civilization was destroyed by the Mizari-alien Sterilizers from a black star in the Ursa Major cluster. Sixty thousand years later, humanity's far-flung remnants have reunited to form a new galactic empire. A system of Sentinels and Shields monitirs the frontier, while mighty Defender ships protect the home worlds.
