The Earth Federation, which has successfully shed the burden of self-willed colonies, has embarked on a path of prosperity and intensive development. But the neighbors, who were one with her not so long ago, gradually began to turn into competitors. Perhaps someday they will become enemies - that is why the inhabited space must be constantly kept under control. Observers who monitor the situation in various sectors of space rarely directly participate in any events. Yet one day something happens that changes the established rules of the game. A minor problem, a tiny system failure, a strange anomaly difficult to fix with instruments... and who will say how the chain of events that began in this way will end? But everyone should remember that the interests of the Federation are above all! Even if you have to sacrifice an entire planet to complete the mission...
