In 2765, the Star League Defense Force was the greatest military ever assembled, unparalleled in numbers and technological prowess--but it was not alone. The House Lords and the rules of the Territorial States in the Periphery each amassed armies of their own. While none of these powers alone could challenge the sheer size and might of the SLDF, each stood ready to defend their own interests against the avarice of their neighbors.
