Story
After 700 years of peace and prosperity, the Galactic Empire has suddenly been torn to pieces. The OMNIs, god-like machines that did everything for their human masters, have mysteriously shut down. And humanity, long unable to survive on its own, is dangerously close to extinction. But somewhere in a remote corner of the galaxy lies Gehenna, a planet of ice and rock and a top-secret facility that is both the pinnacle of Imperial technology and humanity's last chance. You are a clone of Admiral Elly's Idaho, a weapon made of flesh, the finest Imperial Admiral ever to fight in the stars, and you have just been awakened on this planet by its strange and darkly humorous guardian, Kaliban, the last functioning OMNI. Your task is to skillfully pilot a battleship through the chaotic, violent clusters of the Empire, where one wrong move could be your last, to reactivate the OMNIs and save the future of all humanity. But you must leave Gehenna now.... because time is almost up.
