From the introduction: You are all elite, black-op operatives (spies) of a colonial, space-faring Empire. You get called to do all sorts of covert operations that revolve around assassinating high value targets or making sure unlawful plans of enemies of the Glorious Empire of the Twin Suns never manage to disrupt your way of life. Should you get caught, the Empire will deny any and all links to your existence. We only get glimpses of the whole of your lives, and soon you’ll be gone.
