After 100 years of peaceful co-existence between humans and Cardazians a brutal an vicious war has broken out. The humans are ill prepared for the constant fighting and are losing outposts and entire planetary colonies on a daily basis. The human race faces extinction unless a small group of soldiers complete their suicide mission. Led by Bruce Max , a legendary war hero, this tiny group of brave souls is humanity's only hope. Everyone tells Max that he can lead them to victory. The only problem: Max was supposedly killed in an ill fated mission.
