" rows="10" cols="40">You've heard the distant call. This invitation has echoed across generations for as long as your people can remember. The words appear as seemingly alien symbols racing through your mind. You understand them without exactly knowing why. You perceive an urgent summons to come to the aid of the universe.

A heroic task awaits you. Just beyond your galaxy, an ancient malevolence has embarked upon a covetous rampage. This demonic juggernaut seeks nothing less than the total enslavement of every world it encounters. Your world could be next.

You will not be alone. Many will join you as you leave your beautiful planet to ensure its survival. From the safety of their new homes within the timeless SanctuaryTM, they've gathered together to take this epic battle directly to the enemy. Will you join them? Are you prepared to harness your own potential and stem the growing menace of the Thrax?
