The war between the Guardians and the Tirogian Empire is now in its second year. The surviving Guardians from Outpost Capricorn Seven, aboard the newly designed warship Hope, after a brief period of calm, are now experiencing major navigation difficulties after encountering a ship of unknown design. This new ship, another Guardian survivor, joins the crew under the command of High Commander Gandel Hoppinzorinkski, or Hops. After a crucial decision by the Guardian Counsil of Elders, Hops and the crew find themselves on a mission to the planet of Paporia Two.
