Death is spreading. Gorgon, a planet on the edge of the galaxy, has become an autopsy theater for civilization. In blood-and-flesh mines, the insectoid race's oracle-bone script grows, their carapaces recording a chronicle of war older than humanity. The flames of vengeance have risen once more from beneath the sea, yearning to devour the world again. The forgotten "Old Humans" have begun a new invasion plan. And humans who crave the throne slaughter one another without purpose. This planet has long forgotten the grammar of peace.
Endless cycles of war have left the world devastated. On this land scorched by battle, the Star-Soul Warriors, the last guardians of peace, still fight for humanity's survival. Their armor bears the memories of death from time immemorial, while human quantum hearts still beat within their chests. Every swing of the sword defies the law of entropy; every breath mocks the final heat death of the universe.
Yet when the alien fungal carpet begins secreting the "Entropy Crown," a dark matter crown that can bring heat death ahead of its time, the surviving races finally realize that the corpses they leave behind in battle are no more than serving dishes for carrion-eaters from higher dimensions. Deep in Gorgon's strata of war, ancient flesh-and-blood starships are awakening.
This time, the prey has decided to regurgitate all the gods using the universe's appendix. The armor of the Star-Soul Warriors intertwines with the sonic patterns of the Sea Folk, forming one last vow of peace. Their blades no longer point at one another, but pierce the veil of entropy shrouding the galaxy. For in this endless battle to escape the abyss, the only enemy is war itself.
