The year is 3589, fifteen hundred years after the destructive war of the human community against the brutal extraterrestrial civilization of the Perfect. The community has fought a war for survival, but now there is an even greater danger. The threat to the existence of the entire universe lies at the heart of the galaxy.
 It is Emptiness itself. It has been around for millions of years, constantly expanding in all directions and devouring everything in its path - planets, stars, galaxies. The origin of Emptiness is unknown, as is its creator and purpose. Even the Raiels, the oldest and most technologically advanced race in the galaxy, could not reveal the secret of Emptiness. The only connection with Emptiness is Dreams. Dreams around which a religious cult arose that wants to send a Pilgrimage into its interior. No one knows whether the Pilgrimage will bring salvation or destruction. However, it can accelerate the expansion catastrophically and therefore provoke the reaction of extraterrestrial neighbors. The Community is heading for another crisis.
