Under the Stars

On December 24, 2146, a "crystal" of unknown origin fell into the earth's atmosphere. The electromagnetic pulse it released paralyzed all satellites around the world, causing the "Xingyue" orbital station to crash. In the same year, the second princess of the empire was assassinated in the Federation, and the identity of the assassin remained a mystery. The following year, Eileen von Sigurd, a researcher at the Imperial Institute of Advanced Technology, was killed by mysterious militants, and the whereabouts of her research results on "autonomous proliferation materials" were unknown. Eighteen years later, the war between the Empire and the divided Republic has raged for fourteen years. The "Beacon" team of the Republic's special forces received a mission: to sneak into the Imperial Naval Research Institute and steal the design drawings of the new battleship "Tulip". The mission was successfully completed, but the team members discovered that there was a bigger secret hidden behind the drawings - the armor materials of the "Tulip" had the same biological characteristics as the "crystals" discovered on the "Stars and Moon" orbital station eighteen years ago. As the investigation deepens, they gradually touch on the true origin of this war: not because of territory, resources or ideology, but because of a "star" from the depths of the universe, and a girl who hopes to use it to realize her wishes. Betrayal, sacrifice, hatred, blood ties - in this war that lasted for fourteen years, no one could escape unscathed.
