It is the year 86 of the New Galaxy. In a binary star system somewhere in space, there is a special area called Zone Subsqui, which converged all the races of the galaxy to form a new civilization. However, alongside the progress, crime flourished, and the Organization of Evil became the scourge of the new order, exhibiting powers above those of the space authorities.
