Prologue
A thousand years ago the Galactic Empire ruled over the whole Milky Way Galaxy. Its citizens enjoyed the highest standard of living and everyone was treated fairly and with respect. Then came the Terrins, a terrible war loving race, whose own lack of foresight lead to the destruction of their own home. They had journeyed for hundreds of years to find suitable new homes for their people and when they saw the planets of the Empire they began to attack.
No one was ready for them. The members of the Empire had long forgotten war and even though they had an army, they were unprepared for the savagery of the Terrins. Within a year almost halve of the Empire's planets were under the control of the Terrins but the empire had started to slow them down. It was obvious that something new needed to be done in order to save the Empire from destruction and that is how the Alpha program came into being.
