In the year 2157, an ex-elite special forces operative is under trial for the murder of a political figure's daughter. While the solar system scorns his actions, Ares Altier maintains his innocence. After being found guilty, a high-power politician approaches Ares with the opportunity to attain his freedom, and clean his record. The ruling party of Earth, the United Galactic Council, have developed advanced technology that allows them to discover, strengthen, and travel through previously unknown wormholes within the solar system. The destination of each of these rifts are referred to as 'Sectors'. For Ares, his mission should be simple: Be among the first to step foot in a new found sector, Sector 6.
