Plot
Two billion years in the past, a being named Dominus began a war in various corners of the multi-universe, proclaiming the Supreme Empire with the aim of seizing all races and ruling in its own way. The war left a countless number of dead and the destruction or desolation of many universes, but before all hope disappeared, 16 warriors joined their powers to stop Dominus and to eliminate it; Prior to this, Dominus promised that he will take revenge and return as soon as he has gathered enough strength to face the warriors' descendants.

As a result of the war, the Inter-Universal Federation was created to prevent future conflicts between different parties, but many places were excluded due to the lack of communication and the mistaken belief in their self-sufficiency.
