The Realm is in possession of an ancient powerful relic known as the Orb, until it is stolen by a band of unlikely heroes- A ex wise-cracking soldier and his girlfriend, along with a scientist, and his robot have made themselves an annoying thorn in the Realm's side. As the great Realm Summit draws closer, two Galactic agents must race to locate the Orb.

A slice of sci-fi for fans of classics like Star Wars. Rebels take on the nefarious Realm empire, seeking a new galaxy of peace and tranquility - and who can't get behind that in today's world? High speed fighter chases, blaster fights and betrayal follow. Enjoyable fun with great imagination.
