In the vastness of space and time, a hidden force pulsed quietly at the heart of existence. It wasn't tied to any one star system, nor confined to any known dimension. It drifted through the deep currents of the universe, like a silent heartbeat, radiating endless power. This force was known across civilizations as Skyph energy.
Long before humanity looked beyond its own world, alien races had already discovered fragments of this power scattered throughout the cosmos. These fragments were like the remnants of a dead star, drifting through asteroid fields, hidden within nebulae, or buried deep in the ruins of lost worlds. From these fragments, entire civilizations had risen, empires had been built, and wars had been fought.
Humanity arrived late to this cosmic inheritance. Only a century ago, explorers pushed beyond the edge of their solar system and stumbled upon the same fragments of Skyph energy. Their discovery shattered all previous limits. Cities on distant planets flickered to life under artificial suns, starships cut through space with blazing trails, and soldiers harnessed power that defied the laws of physics. The universe, once a cold and distant expanse, became a battlefield alive with potential.
Across the star lanes, new warriors emerged. Guardians of their home systems, they stood between fragile worlds and the unrelenting hunger of conquest. Some patrolled the glowing rings of gas giants, their silhouettes framed by violent storms. Others watched over dying stars, protecting the last habitable planets in their orbits. Their presence was a silent promise: not every world would fall to force.
But there were those who wanted more. Among the alien factions, conquerors gathered fleets beneath banners marked by burning symbols. Their ambitions stretched across constellations, and to them, planets were nothing but trophies, and stars nothing more than fuel for their expansion. Their warships drifted through the dark like hunters, drawn to the faint signatures of Skyph energy, as if pulled by instinct.
In the midst of this fragile balance, academies sprang up on both human and alien territories. Massive structures carved into moons, suspended above planets, or anchored in artificial rings of light. Inside their halls, the air hummed with restrained power. Students moved through long corridors washed in pale starlight, their footsteps echoing beneath towering arches marked with ancient symbols. These academies had one purpose: to teach the chosen how to wield Skyph energy without being consumed by it.
The selection of students was never random. When a student was chosen, it felt more like a judgment than a decision—a verdict by fate itself. The moment of receiving Skyph energy was always quiet, almost sacred. A small core, glowing with faint light, was placed into their hands, its warmth seeping into their skin, spreading through their body. Some students trembled as the power settled within them. Others stood still, their breath shallow, eyes reflecting the glow of something older than any recorded history.
Yet even within these academies, only fragments of Skyph energy were available. The cores they held were small, incomplete echoes of a greater force. The true origin of Skyph energy—the main core—remained a mystery, more legend than fact. Scholars whispered of it in secret, tracing ancient star maps and decoding ruins left by civilizations that had long vanished. Explorers disappeared into uncharted sectors, chasing rumors of a power that could change the balance of the universe.
Out in the vast dark between galaxies, countless small fragments of Skyph energy continued to drift. They glowed faintly as they tumbled through the void, waiting to be found by human hands or alien claws. Each fragment held the promise of unimaginable power and the shadow of conflict. And as more beings reached for Skyph energy, the universe seemed to hold its breath, as if it knew that the search for the main core would one day spark a war massive enough to shake the very fabrier:
The bad guys are Pirate
And
Good guys are Skyph fighters
