Heroic Michel Volban leads the People’s Army on a march toward freedom. But unless a hero arrives to join the fight, the rebellion stands little chance against the might of the Imperial Fleet.

All seems lost for the People’s Army until the arrival of a sleek battleship bearing the crest of the Royal Family! Hope dissipates when these saviors turn out to be no better than pirates.

On a desolate planet populated by the scum of the universe, Michel follows Cleo into the mountains and challenges him to a duel.

After Cleo crosses swords with Vetti Sforza in a dusty tavern, the duel spills into the streets and continues in the skies. Escape seems hopeless when the Imperial Fleet arrives.

The pirates give the Imperial Fleet a taste of the Royal Family’s technology. With a truce reached between Cleo and Michel, a course is set for the stronghold of the People’s Army.

A battle-damaged transport ship carries a surprise: Michel’s long missing brother. Reeling from shock, the wounded man claims no knowledge of the sibling standing before him.

Michel Volban returns to the base of the People’s Army and introduces Cleo as their savior - but the pirate is concerned only with his reward.

Aristocratic forces perpetrate an all out offensive against the rebellion, and Cleo rallies the troops with his expert tactics. As the fires of war are flamed, a hero rises.

Shrewd political maneuvering could shape the outcome of the war, so both sides race across the stars to plead their case to a woman who holds much power and territory.

B.B. plays the Holy Empire and the People’s Army against each other, but her eventual support may not matter. In a distant cathedral, a young lady struggles as politics and love clash.

As Vetti’s battleships remind the territorial lords of the consequences of siding with the People’s Army, he reveals the horrors that shaped him to his soon-to-be bride.

War has erupted among the stars! Vetti proves that even peace can be used as a weapon, and when the seemingly unbreakable is shattered, the Holy Empire takes control.

The history of Michel Volban’s desperate search for one that would lead the People’s Army is revisited, as well as Cleo and Vetti’s fateful first meeting.

The People’s Army is no more. Michel is in Vetti’s custody and wounded Cleo wakes in prison under the watchful eye of the feared Doctor Muscat.

Cleo’s escape plan finds a valuable ally hidden away in the prison. Meanwhile, with so much lost, Michel tries to escape the feeling that the revolution has failed.

Deep within the prison, Cleo hides with an old man who was banished by the Cross-Star Church.

Cleo and the Admiral scour the hostile landscape for any means of escaping the planet. Meanwhile, Sylvia has infiltrated Vetti’s fortress - but freeing Michel may prove impossible.

The old Admiral must find an escape route through the swarm of enemy ships choking the atmosphere. Sacrifices must be endured if victory is to be achieved.

Michel pilots Cleo’s ship across the stars, trying to break free of Vetti’s armada! Meanwhile, Pope Gorna reveals a shocking family secret to his daughter.

As the leaders of the People’s Army take shelter in BB’s territory, Vetti unleashes chaos on Bardeaux. When the smoke clears, a powerful new ally takes up arms.

Without the power of the territorial lords, Cleo can never hope to coax Vetti to the bargaining table. Amidst all the plotting, Michel reflects on a life lived in secret for the good of the people.

Emperor Vetti has stormed off into space, searching for the answer to an unanswerable riddle! Cleo rushes to intercept the crazed aristocrat as Pope Gorna sets in motion a plan of his own.

The Imperial fleet moves to engage the growing People’s Army, both sides determined to achieve their goals despite the cost.

As the galaxy swirls toward apocalypse, Cleo and Vetti - one seeking peace, the other only victory - clash in the final battle for freedom.
