After one arduous decade, the war between every human and alien races in the galaxy against a race of ancient, sentient AI called "Seraphim" has finally ended.
The Seraphim was once tasked by their original creators to ensure their prosperity and peace. After consuming trillions of data, analyzing every known civilization in the universe, they came to a conclusion that a civilization will turn on itself once they reached the peak and became the apex being. And so... the Seraphim began their systematic annihilation, leaving select few undeveloped races to begin the cycle anew.
Once the annihilation is complete, the Seraphim lie dormant in the empty corners of the galaxy, waiting for the time their service is needed again.
Rhys was one of the human leaders, a 30 years old ship captain leading a platoon in the decisive battle to defeat the Seraphim once and for all. Stoic, decisive, known for his strategic brilliance, yet empathic in his approach, he earned the respect and loyalty of his peers and comrades. Using a powerful virus created specifically to infect the Seraphim, the allied force of humans and aliens managed to weaken them and destroy them completely. No more war, no more culling...
And no more purpose for Rhys.
