Project Harvester:
The King of Sor's life was nearly taken by an assassin. Upon further investigation it turns out the escaped assassin worked for an organization known as Seed, a powerful illusive group of warriors hired by unknown villains to end the King's life. A Senator, and former Knight, Aden Malkini has a plan to defeat this organization, a plan known as Project Harvester. He plans to collect the best warriors from across the great capital city of Sor, from the greatest Knight heroes to the lowest of moral=less mercenaries, and combined them into one unit who'll operate above the law and whose only goal is to defeat Seed.

You are called to Malkini's meeting for one reason or another, as a warrior interested in joining Project Harvester and the organization it hopes to create.

Introduction: A History of Our Worlds
The planets and worlds have gone through much age, being settled and resettled over the course of time. The Helexicon Empire, a galactic super-power which rose from the southern planets in the late 1700's, that being 1700 years after the destruction of the Phoenix Empire which once ruled the worlds. The Empire's reach stretched far as it grew, and in the northern lands, conquered in campaigns in the 1900's, the Empire's only power is through the Knights, a force of all Phoenix guards that enforce the Helexicon rule and authority in the region. The Phoenix, since the dawn of written history, were a threat to civilization. They were humans, like all others, only they could bend the elements to their will. The Treaty of the Crosses in 1450 was a written agreement signed by all reigning systems at the time that all Phoenix citizens would be either killed or imprisoned on the mountains of the planet Bao, where they lived alone in the cold. In the year 1892, the Helexicon Empire, which had been growing in the south, sent agents to Bao. They unleashed the Phoenix, dressed in silver armor and capes, on the north. And the Dormans, the Neahians, and the Bakos fell to the power of the Phoenix Knights and the Helexicon Empire. A hundred year reign began of violence and oppression on the land. Only one world resisted the Phoenix, the holy world of the Matran, who formed an army, under the watchful eye of their God, and fought back. The Phoenix, though more powerful, were severely outnumbered by the commoners, and in the North, every Phoenix Knights, and any family of theirs, were hunted and killed. The Common folk had won. The Helexicon Empire fractured and dissolved, in its wake new systems, loyal to the Matran. In one of these systems, the Sora System, the Knights, an order once loyal to the Helexicon and restricted to Phoenix, was now an order loyal to the Sora System and was open to all men and women born within the system. It is now the year 2250, and the Sora System has prospered into a imperial republic constantly expanding. The Church of Sor has been founded, and for the first time since the Helexicon Empire, Sorillian Phoenix's are no longer hunted.
