The arrow of time has run its course, the once bright Universe is now a cold black void. Only one star remains, though it to is dying, its life sustained artificially by the great Sun Ships of a race known as the Vali. Like a watering hole in space the Last Star attracts the desperate, dying and malevolent remnants of those civilizations that still survive in the great cosmic dark. When such civilizations emerge from the void the result is seldom peaceful, thus the Vali find themselves in a constant state of war. Amidst all this turmoil lies a single planet encased by an impenetrable shield and shrouded in mystery, its reason and purpose unknown even by the Vail. However as a new threat emerges from the void a Vali fighter pilot finds himself transported to the mysterious planet where he must face the prospect of being the linchpin that brings about the destruction of his entire race.
