A war breaks out among the mighty Houses of the planet to settle the succession after the death of the emperor of Kronos and a new emperor is to be appointed. When a faction is able to capture the twelve holy temples and simultaneously light fires on each of the temple, the destiny is decided.
The House of Telit used nuclear weapons for the first time in the latest war of succession, nearly destroying the planet in the process. The newly elected emperor, along with those who could afford it, fled to the neighbouring planet Rhea, and the ones who could not and survived on the planet of Kronos, lived on and became the faction known as The Residents.
200 years later, the factions are returning to Kronos, as this emperor has passed away. They are on to fight the next - and possibly last - war to decide upon the successor.
