The year is 2160. The industrialization of the solar system started decades ago on the grandest of scales--an orbital ring that circles the Earth.

Or, will time become the opportunity needed to explore the possibilities of an emerging galactic power. The continued subjugation of humanity or its collective elevation to unimaginable heights.
