The premise, in the publisher's words

From far away, coming from the clouds, a kind of buzzing could be glimpsed, more and more intense, which gradually became deafening. And behind him, an impressive mothership made a star appearance. Two combat ships came out of it, soaring through the sky, hovering over the waters, casting themselves with silent shadows of an uncertain future. The countdown was over and the adventure began.
