At first, the domain of the sky was known exclusively to spirits and the messengers of the gods. Then mankind began exploring it in the early chapters of their history by riding through the air like birds on primitive gliders crafted from the skins of animals that man dried and stretched and held together by bamboo sticks. He built great stone towers to reach beyond the clouds, from clay he shaped with his hands and burnt with coal into hardened brick. When a group of little green men from a red planet on the other side of the cosmos came, they offered the people of earth a fleet of mighty steel flying battleships which will allow man to drift across the endless darkness which reaches through all things where man might find a paradise world, planting the seeds of a new utopia. In exchange, mankind left the earth behind them, colonists now in the dark and lonely cold of the void with their homes far behind them. This is when they encountered the hostile sentient asteroids, whose tentacles whip and snap with the strength of a dozen dragons out of their rocky exteriors like boulders held together by bioluminescent rocket organs propelling them from world to world. Servants of a demonic deity of another realm, they suck the life of any inhabitants dry. As man flies back to earth on broken wings to seek aid from the aliens who gave them the ships which were now in dire need of repair, and half their fleet now lost, with the monstrous eating asteroids not far behind them, the remnants of travelers from the lush planet in a solar system not unlike our own encounter a kingdom of intergalactic sociopolitical problems when they discover other people already in space, other empires, and a vast host of other adventure now in the clutches of the world of the ocean-like night sky.
