Storyline
-The introduction to the conflict-


A generation has passed since the Great War that engulfed half the northern hemisphere. The civil war and strife that smoldered in each nation had died down, and at last a moment of peace for the world was at sight. All that was lost when Leasath - a small republic in the southern hemisphere that had seemingly overcome its own internal strife - invaded and occupied the neighboring country of Aurelia without a moment's warning.

"This is a symbol of our people's rage," exclaimed Leasath Commander Diego Caspar Navarro, with his fist raised to the sky. "Too long have we endured Aurelia's criminal exploitation of the protracted civil unrest in our land!"

Despite international pressure, Aurelia seems doomed to become a territory of Leasath. To save their country, the Gryphus Squadron, a border defense force unknown to even Aurelian people, springs into action. Emblazoned with the Southern Cross, a symbol of the southern hemisphere, they are set to write a new chapter in military history with a seemingly futile counter strike...

A journalist walks into the wake of battle - a veteran who worked his way up from his days as a freelance cameraman. Alone on the battlefield, he stares at the columns of smoke rising from the Aurelian border, fascinated.

Navarro continues to assert his country's "legitimate right," but as the face of the war changes, the veteran journalist's suspicions about the war deepen. What is this war's real purpose...?
