Story:

It has been 214 years since the end of the AI War and 11 years since the end of the Corporatist War. The Stellconian Empire is at peace, but the Emperor is dying. 

Sensing danger to the Empire at a critical juncture, Emperor Takeda has ordered High Admiral Caelus out of retirement for reasons as yet unknown. You are High Admiral Caelus. You must do the Emperor’s bidding. 

May the Creator’s Blessings be upon you, Admiral.
