Almost a hundred years have passed since the day the empire invaded their world. Through the decades, the Havenorians have lived in fear and could only struggle with oppression and abuse from the technology-armed colonists. Making matters worse is the impending arrival of Emperor Brutikus, who intends to make Havenor the new home world for his eight hundred million Vandorrans. Advising the emperor is Fesoj, the high priest of the Padsonian church of Vandorra.

As such, the Havenorians must unite and organize the fight for freedom before it is too late.
