The Ballad of Mercy

Hundreds of years after factions of humanity have abandoned Earth and ventured out to find new planets to colonise, the galaxy finds itself on the brink of war. Two giants, the EarthBound Territories, and the Xo Authority prepare to collide. Caught between the two empires, and unwilling to take a side, the planet of New Washington finds itself in a dire situation. As a last ditch attempt to save themselves, the President of New Washington sends Captain Jane Fueler on a diplomatic mission to Alstromah. Hoping to gain the support of the ferocious Alstroman warriors, Fueler tries to convince one of the clan leaders, but, unbeknownst to her, this leader already has his own plans for New Washington. After Fueler's arrival, the infamous Omega Team is sent to New Washington under the assumption they are carrying out a low-risk evacuation. Upon arrival, Omega's presence kickstarts a chain of events that leave New Washington a monstrous husk of itself, and the team is forced to fight through nightmarish conditions.
