The longstanding conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance comes to an end with the emergence of new leaders. Reinhard von Lohengramm, a military genius with idealistic tendencies, rises through the ranks of the Empire alongside his childhood friend Siegfried Kircheis. Meanwhile on the other side of the galaxy, Yang Wenli, a historian and supporter of democratic ideals, leads the Free Planets Alliance.
As they fight for their respective causes, Reinhard must overcome the remnants of the Goldenbaum Dynasty to free his sister from the Kaiser and unite humanity under one genuine ruler. Yang, on the other hand, must stand firm in his beliefs despite the struggles of the FPA and show his pupil Julian Mintz that autocracy is not the solution.
As wars rage across the galaxy, these two strategic masterminds are forced to question the true purpose behind their battle.
