Synopsis
Over the course of generations, the once mighty empire known as The United Republics of The Red Star (U.R.R.S.) slaughtered millions of its own people by the order of a single man.

Haunted by the ghosts of their nation’s tragic past, the Heroes of the Red Star discover the true nature of their people’s struggle, abandon their duties as soldiers of the Red Star Fleet, and embark upon a quest to liberate their people from Imbohl’s dark legacy.The Red Star follows an epic battle in a world of militarized sorcery and monolithic technology, where—unknown to all but a few—the ghosts of old soldiers continue to fight alongside the living.
