After finding refuge, the people of ancient Aristar began to awaken their psychic powers. They established a small nation known as the Alliance.
At first, this tiny planet-sized country wasn't seen as much of a threat, akin to a small village in comparison to a vast empire.
Surprisingly, the Alliance, under the leadership of the five former mental patients, gradually became a force to be reckoned with, rivaling the might of the Empire of Sacred Moonlight.
This rapid rise alarmed the Empire, especially its warmongers, who viewed the Alliance as a thorn in their side. They accused the Alliance of growing strong by leeching off the Empire's resources.
