Eight years after the death of Emperor Walter, the Asha Galaxy is in turmoil. In the remote star system of Nirsh, an insurgent force called the Free Nirsh Army has launched a coordinated campaign to seize control, targeting the empire's industrial military base on the moon Sirina for its strategic value. The imperial forces evacuate under fire, destroying assets as they go — but in the chaos, a critical piece of intelligence is accidentally left behind. As Commander Rexis or Commander Kyra, players are tasked with re-entering the overrun base, recovering the vital data, and reaching the evacuation ship before the imperial fleet begins its bombardment of the entire facility. Every corridor is crawling with rebel soldiers. Time is running out. The empire's technological advantage hangs on this mission.
