It is the year 21XX, and there is only war. Though the main forces of the Mavericks have been shattered the world has still entered a period of vicious skirmishes and terrorist attacks. The Maverick Hunters, drained and battered from Sigma's Rebellion and the losses they suffered then through both treachery and attrition, face an uphill battle to protect Earth's tentative peace even as the relationship between humans and reploids comes into question and begins to change for both good and ill.

But outside of all of that, near fully unaware of what is happening outside of his oh so stiflingly limited home is where we begin. A project that has finally come to fruition after countless delays and issues many years in the making. Stargazer has been born and raised to fulfill one purpose: To travel away from Earth, away from the Earth Sphere and even beyond the ever distant mining worlds. His goal? To seek out new worlds, new discoveries and new life. To boldly go...

And today is the final day of testing, and the first day of the rest of his life.
