The Russian Federation has become aware that Earth has a celestial visitor hiding deep beneath the South Pacific Ocean. The Russians intend to keep this knowledge to themselves. They are unaware that the United States has learned of their secret through one of their intelligence operatives. These nations should be cooperating, but instead they are competing. Each wants to gain significant international prestige when they announce their discovery to the world. Unbeknown to the Americans, they too have been infiltrated, but not by any earthly organization. The United Worlds Authority, UWA, has one of their observers among the US President's confidants. This galactic union of hundreds of planets has an announcement to make to the World: extermination of all life on Earth by another star-traveling faction.
Earth is about to become the focal point of a galactic battle between two massive opposing forces. UWA refers to its adversary as the "Enemy": an organic weapon system composed of thousands of spacecraft. Each Enemy spaceship contains hordes of biologic abominations--horrible in appearance and emotionless.
UWA theorized that this bioweapon had been the inspiration of an extinct species whose origins remain unknown. This unique weapon may have been developed to defeat an opponent, but their creation must have destroyed them as well. Thousands of worlds have been ravaged by this galactic horde; and their next victim is Earth.
The UWA, also called the Authority, has been fighting the onslaught of the Enemy for almost a hundred years. It cannot permit Earth to be taken by their foe and its vast resources to be used against them. Humanity is given an ultimatum: cooperate or the Authority will convert Earth into a small star. Humanity is faced with extermination either by the Enemy or by the UWA. Earth cooperates with the lesser of two evils: the Authority.
