The year is 4930 (Old Terran Time ); Earth is now generally known as Terra. It is only a small part of a gigantic mega society officially called the United Stars of the Galaxies, but by everyone simply refered to as the Union.

Roy Masters, born on Green Hell, one of the most dangerous and deadly worlds in the known Universe, just turned sixteen, lost his parents to a Pirate attack and helped foil a scheme of the Kermac that almost destroyed his home planet. He and his alien pet, an Imperial Fury Beast are now on their way to Sares Prime, where he supposed to go to College. While he travels to the exotic home system of the Saresii, the Galaxy prepares for war.

Roy is about 6'2" and has very athletic body with steel hard muscles. He is quite strong and has lighting fast reflexes.

A unique sense of danger and quick wits make him an opponent to be recognized.

Chapter 1: Red Alert

Only eight days had passed since the Kermac attacked Green Hell, trying to excavate and secure an ancient Saresii space ship, buried there for over a million standard years. Events that culminated in the revelation that the president of the United Stars himself was a Kermac Spy.

Roy had been at the very center of these events and some of it was still hard to understand. He was just a teenager of a backwater world after all.

Green Hell did not develop into one of the most dangerous planets in the known Universe on its own, but was the result of a bio weapon program of the Old Saresii. A sentient machine left behind had developed into its own entity and acted as a protector of the planet and its diverse and dangerous biosphere.

The machine represented by the projection of a woman with the name Qaroniel wanted him, just like Uncle Sam to leave Green Hell, to learn and receive an education.

When Cara, his Saresii friend and mentor offered him a chance to receive his college education on Sares Prime, everyone he knew told him this was a great honor and a rare opportunity.

He promised to be good and the events since his last birthday had shown him how important education and how dangerous ignorance could be, but deep down there was  a voice of rebellion, perhaps not as stubborn as it was
