Its inspirations are a hybrid of Mass Effect and Cool Runnings, with a dash of The Player of Games. Intro: It has been five years since mankind first made contact with sentient alien life. Soon, the first games will begin. Humanity has sent its best team to the Galactic Arena, to represent the human race among the species that make up the Galactic Council and win a place for humanity as a full-fledged member of pan-galactic civilization. The stakes are high!
