This story begins as so many do: A long, long time ago... in a place far beyond the glittering stars you see in your night sky. This is the story of three people who cross paths with destiny--who are in the wrong place at the right time. Together, these three will prove there´s more to them than meets the eye... and they might just be the galaxy´s only hope for the future.
