This is only the beginning... In this technologically advanced world of the 30th century, the 'United Earth Defence Force' is Earth's keeper of peace and also known as the Confederacy's Army. The UED F thrives on keen youngsters who help expand their already overwhelming force for, supposedly, Earth's well being. During the Confederacy's reign, Earth waged war against the fiendish race called the Zarg that inhabited the planet called Char, approximately 600,000 light-years away. This war was fought for the precious minerals and gases that power our society.

But our alien enemies do not base their technology on these minerals and gases; they use them for a different purpose, to feed their ever-expanding race. The Zarg are a race of different creatures due to different levels of evolution, but all appear bug-like with the attribute of an amazingly thick layer of natural armour. Earth was already fighting its own civilian war, a battle rooted in greed. Human greed has led us to initiate war against our long time guardians and creators, the Protess.

These godly creatures have been watching over the Earth for many thousands of years, ensuring of our survival in this hostile universe. However based solely on our own selfish greed, humanity turned against our guardians for these materialistic resources. Maybe we were not meant for this universe; maybe we were just an accident that continues to plague this universe... Long ago, when the universe was still young, the mighty Protess race gave birth to Humanity and the Zarg through genetic experimentation with their superior technology and their outstanding knowledge in genetic science. Humanity was their first creation, but was abandoned on a planet what we now call Earth simply because we were not considered perfect. For this reason they created another race, a species they did consider to be perfect, the Zarg.

Although we were left to evolve over time on Earth, not all was lost. Not long after the Protess' completion of the Zarg, it was soon realised that this new species was too much for them to handle. The Zarg was created with the ability to adapt to its environment through forced evolution. Due to the Protess' repeated experimentation with this ability, the Zarg has grown to become a species to be feared.

The Protess themselves fell victim to the Zarg's unsuspected wrath and broke free from the Protess' genetic experimentation, completely destroying the vessel they were held captive in. For this reason, our Gods, who once abandoned Humanity, have come back to watch over us, hoping that it will make up for their wrong-doings, for unleashing evil into the universe. After the surprise attack on their creators, the Zarg brood had infested a planet not too far from Earth. A planet called Char, from the constellation of Sagittarius came to be their home planet.

The surface of the planet Char is covered with craters and active volcanoes that frequently erupt without warning. Water is nowhere to be found due to the scorching heat of the planet's surface. The atmosphere is contaminated with dangerously high amounts of carbon that could kill a human being the moment he or she inhaled a single breath. This planet seemed incapable or sustaining life, but this is not the case with the Zarg. The extent of genetic engineering has made them practically immune to any environment presented to them. The harshness of the planet's environment pushed the Zarg race to evolve and adapt so that Char's environmental hazards were of no concern to them.

They are a hunter-gatherer society without a conscience; survival is their only objective. As years passed by and resources were almost used up, another obstacle was placed in front of these barbaric creatures. They were forced to evolve again, only this time, to the condition of space. They have only one thing on their minds, which is to inhabit any planet that has resources they can feed on, even if it means slaughtering its inhabitants. The process of evolution for Humanity was very slow and painful, but our guardians ensured our survival throughout this period. In the world of the 30th century, mankind has united as a whole.

The scientific breakthrough of a new source of energy brought the world together. This new source of energy that powers the world comes from a special mineral and gas known as the p septic crystal and vespine gas found buried deep beneath the Earth's crust. High tech machinery and weaponry are the result of the discovery of these new resources. As time passed by and the precious resources quickly deplete as a result of human consumption, Humanity was forced to devise a swift plan to search for these resources on other planets. As this new way of powering the Earth through extracting resources on other planets became a daily routine, fate brought them to the discovery of the Zarg race. At this time, the Zarg has consumed many planets and are heading towards Earth with hostility.

As gullible as humans are, it was a dream come true to finally meet intelligent life from outer space. This was until one entire human fleet last sighted in the Zarg solar system was reported missing without a trace. The High Council from the Protess Home World made its most momentous decision since proceeding with genetic experimentation. It was to form an alliance with Humanity, which thereby defied the rule that disallowed interference with the human's way of life.

With the rapid development of the Zarg Empire, there was little choice left for the Protess. If they do not form an alliance and destroy the Zarg, the universe would be at the mercy of the ever-expanding Zarg creatures. Humanity formed an alliance with the Protess after being promised supplies of their much needed resources if they co-operated. The truth about the birth of Humanity and Zarg was also made known to Humanity in hope that dedication towards helping the Protess would be assured. But this proved wrong. The opposite result occurred and hatred grew on the human side towards their creators for abandoning them, which completely blinded them of the tragic fate that will come to all if the alliance was not sustained.

As the Zarg consumed each planet in its path, annihilating those who opposed them in the process, death drew closer and closer for the Protess and Humanity. This is the result of playing God and trying to achieve perfection. War has begun between three races that have brought the universe to its darkest period. This may be the end for those unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire between these warring worlds. But for the bloodthirsty Zarg, this is only the beginning...
