Story

Subscribe for a moment to the theory that the universe is open and will expand for eternity. Billions and billions of years from now, all the stars in the universe will exhaust themselves. New ones will be born from the dust of the old, but there will be a steadily decreasing overall amount as time goes on eventually leaving the universe dark and cold.

In this possible distant future, an old expanding red giant star at the center of the Suthrine System in the last known galaxy is dying and within a million years of going supernova. The two planets inhabited by the humanoid species, Hundak, are mere years away from being uninhabitable because of the expanding star. A plan is formed to relocate the whole species to the uninhabited but habitable fifth planet circling the closest star, Cysis, more than 40 light years away.

Also in that system is Cysis 3, a planet whose inhabitants, the Lo’neine, are decedents of the winners of a land battle thousands of years in the past. In that battle, the peaceful species that originated on the planet were wiped out. The Lo’neine invaded and took the planet for themselves after their own planet’s resources were gone. In the many millennia since, the Lo’neine have become hospitable and forgotten their destructive past, welcoming the Hundak to the Cysis System.

Ambassadorial ships are deployed to Cysis 3 and aboard one is a warrior named Dawn. She has been chosen to pilot the lead ship. Upon arrival, they are immediately met with hostility and taken prisoner by the Lo'neine. Confused and separated, the crew of Dawn’s ship is executed one by one. Dawn and the few other protector warriors taken prisoner survive through the use of their engineered abilities. Dawn finally awakens in a quiet, dark cell, destined to escape and fight the evil and deceptive Lo'neine to free the Cysis system.
