Amidst the turmoil of the Aquarian Age in Western astrology, Earth is assaulted by the ERASER extraterrestrial fleet, unleashing havoc on its cities. Yet a counterattack is mounted when the ARAYASHIKI, WIZDOM, DARKLORE, and E.G.O. factions, formerly embroiled in a struggle for control, unite to defeat the ERASERS. The battle's outcome sees Earth fall under the governance of the POLESTAR EMPIRE, but this newfound peace is short-lived. The EMPIRE resorts to a forbidden magic that opens dimensional rifts worldwide, plunging the planet back into disorder and violence.
