INTER-STELLAR CONCORDIUM: As the war ended, the ISC sent hundreds of ships to occupy the neutral zones as peacekeepers using their radical plasmatic pulsar device. They honestly believe that everyone else in the galaxy is a homocidal lunatic who needs to be disarmed. ANDROMEDANS: Extra-galactic invaders arrived to conquer our galaxy with totally new technology (power absorbers, tractor-repulsor beams, displacement devices). Can the galaxy band together to defeat this outside threat, or will their own wars continue while the galaxy burns around them?
