For three and a half centuries the Prelature and the Senate collaborated to maintain a fragile peace across the 404 habitable worlds of the Interstellar Network Alliance Commonwealth. Before the Discord. Before the Civil War. Stardrive. Soon the whole galaxy might be accessible for exploration. Yet as the Prelature of the Paladi reformed their defunct Exploration Corps, to send experimental stardrive ships out into the Unknown Reaches of the galaxy, the Alliance was broken. The Commonwealth became rapidly engulfed in a Civil War throughout the Network. With the need for Prelates to lead the Antori Legion and the Elders to advise the Alliance Senate during this crisis, select retired Paladi have been called back into service: To crew these new "starships" on their missions of exploration, removing the vital technology from the theater of conflict and preventing it from falling into the wrong hands. Reunite with the Five Masterless Apprentices, from "Prelude to Discord," as they crew the Astral Meridian in 364 AC as junior officers of the Exploration Corps.
