By unknown means and for unknown proposes the planet Earth is ripped from its orbit around the sun and placed in a near perfect, synchronized orbit around a mysterious purple star. The Earth isn't alone; 16 other planets underwent the same ordeal. Dubbed the Papuru Star, the G4 sized ball of energy was viewed with fear and awe by the inhabitants of the kidnapped worlds. The leadership of the planets form an uneasy Coalition to understand what the star is and find a way to put the planets back in their original spaces. Now, over a 1000 years later, the 100th annual Coalition Carnage Competition is about to begin. Held every ten years, the year long, galaxy spanning martial arts tournament is the special event the inhabitants of nearly every planet eagerly await, cheering their planet's chosen champion. The tournament is fame and fortune for the superstars who compete, entertainment for the masses, and "blessings" for the winning planet but holds dark secrets within its shadows, secrets that if exposed, could lead to the destruction of all life within the Papuru Galaxy.
