Since the collapse of the Terran Empire two centuries ago the galaxy has been at war.  Dozens of alien races saw the collapse of the only order they had known in recent centuries. Some were technologically advanced, but some barely had functional FTL technology, having been uplifted by the Terrans or other races. Though once allied together as subjects of the Terrans, they began to form independent governments which all fought over territory, seeking to become the next ruler of the known galaxy.

From the unexplored sectors, beyond the edge of the Terran Empire's old borders, a new threat has appeared.  Known simply as Nebula, these beings swarm systems, devouring them for raw materials.  They do not care who lives in the system, and have made no attempts at communication with those they destroy.

What is left of the Terran Imperial Fleet flees from this menace, hoping to find a safe location for their civilians and allies to fight back against the plague.
