''In [[2777]]—after ten years of savage fighting in the [[Periphery]]—[[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] and the [[Star League Defense Force]] launched the final phase in the war against [[Stefan Amaris]], the Usurper of the [[Star League]]. For two more years, the greatest army ever forged by humankind would wage a planet-by-planet war for the heart of the League itself, ultimately landing on mankind's homeworld of [[Terra]]. As the single greatest campaign ever fought in human history, [[Operation LIBERATION]] would change the fate of generations to come.''
