In year 3050 the earth, torn by war and bloodshed was nothing but a bone strewn wasteland unfit for life. Forced to flee their birth planet humans set out in search of a new home where they could start over and rebuild their lives anew. They found this on the lush planet of Sterhera. Teaming with life this new planet offered an abundant ecosystem, new and more dangerous animals, more powerful herbs, and most of all a place to start over. Quickly our species colonized the new world, becoming far more technologically advanced then ever before; building grand flying ships in which they used to explore their home. Medicine was far more powerful, but the herbs are unfamiliar and new and so the medical field's advance has been greatly slowed. Without their older resources and methods of creating medicine humans were forced to rely upon the herbs themselves as they strive to learn about and use the new plants effectively.
three nations rose in different parts of the world Steva, Argo, and Kane. Each nation lived in peace, trading their richly diverse products between each other, the sky ships allowing them to distributed goods far faster and more effective then over land or sea. The nations flourished, but soon their governments became corrupt and the two large nations Argo and Kane fell into war and bloodshed. Stevva the smallest nation had an insufficient military force, remaining a neutral party Steva managed to protect itself from invasion with what little army they had slowly building up their resources knowing that once one of the waring nations fell the winner would turn on them.
After 30 years Kane fell, disease and starvation weakening their forces until Argo's men over ran them. With the destruction of one great nation Argo claimed much of the world’s resources, its corrupt government worshiped as gods. Oppressed the people continued to survive their government, the only form of resistance coming from the free spirited pirates as they continued to pillage and plunder, attacking any merchant ship or army vessel that fell within their clutches. Quickly the government moved to crush the renegade ships, taking any free vessel to use in their fleet. Out number the pirates fled to the mountains of Steva, who offered the outlaws shelter and protection; for any enemy of the Agro was an ally to them.
Now one hundred and fifty years have passed away, and the pirates have banded together out of sheer necessity, electing four pirate leaders to lead them, each forming for clans that reside within Steva's borders all well protected all as dishonest as the next. The continue to rob as they struggle to free Agro from the evil government that rules over them, some for glory, riches, a place in history, a few desire to clear their names, while other merely fight to get back at the government for throwing the first punch.
As war breaks out the gods watch, waiting for the time they are needed. But soon even they are torn by war as half of their forces align themselves with the Agro nation, now fighting amongst themselves the gods struggle to gain an advantage as their human counter parts fight tooth and nail for survival. The only question is. What will you do? Will you join the corruption, will you watch from the sidelines, or will you become a hero?
