From the introduction: Among the twelve hundred worlds of the Federation, a war is being waged. A divided secret society, the power-hungry Secreta Secretorum, have staged a coup to usurp the corrupt Federation. At the centre of this conflict are the agents of E.Y.E, the militant branch of the Secreta. Worlds are dying and becoming desolate, as the Metastreumonic Force, the embodiment of the life of the worlds wiped out by mankind, grows stronger than ever.
