They had also defeated the space fleet of the Earth in the battle near Glock planet. Extraterrestrial technologies noticeably surpass the human ones and the cruelty of the enemy horrifies even the worldly-wise sergeants of assault troops.

Toward this end they meet the past of humanity on an unremarkable croverns' planet...
