10 Years Have Passed
The Drengin Empire reigns supreme.
The Arcean home world has been sterilized by massive Drengin
orbital bombardment. The Korx are gone. The Drath have disappeared
from their world. The Torians are enslaved once again. Altaria
still resists, but its colonies have all been destroyed. Earth
has been imprisoned behind an impenetrable force field for 10 years.
Nothing has gone in or out in that time, not even communications;
it remains surrounded by a massive Drengin invasion fleet. The
Terran first fleet is still gone, trapped in the pocket universe.
The zealots known as the Krynn have taken their zealotry into the
world of commerce in the form of the Krynn Corporation. A vast
criminal underground has arisen across the galaxy that even the
Drengin have been unable to crush..
Colonel Jena Casey with Taskforce Odyssey and the Second Fleet
have fought a slowly losing battle where each Terran colony has
been conquered and enslaved by the Drengin Empire in turn. As a
result, the second fleet has split between the Patriots and the
Mutineers. The Patriots follow the chain of command and Colonel
Casey. The Mutineers, bitter against the Thalan for destroying
the Terror Star, have adopted savage methods to survive in the
name of vengeance against the enemies of Earth.
