The GamePlay Story Background In a Poetic Way

The year is 2030 if you live on Earth
In Space there is no need for time or clocks or things
Yet life soars on eternity’s wings
Yet one thing that the squads from Earth and Space do share.
Is their thirst for power and new frontiers
And maintaining what they have and already hold dear.
It will be the best of the best Poetry in Play that will win the day.
