Storyline
Episode 1

Vius started to explore space nearby to Earth, and was greeted by various nations, including Juis, Scorpulus, Libra Union etc.

Juis explained that Vius was in Sector D-17. He also explained that most of the Milky Way is controlled by The United Federation of Stars, a powerful union that encourages peace and prosperity. Juis also assures Vius that as



long as the UFS outpost remains stable in the sector, there shall be peace.

However, the outpost collapsed into a few different nations, leaving the remaining outpost powerless. Scorpis Empire wanted to seize this chance and expand, but was instead conquered by Libra Union. Titanius Empire reformed and started to expand, conquering Vius and Juis while invading Libra Union to the point where LU loses more than 50% of his territory.

Some of the countries started to become anxious, and questions the remaining UFS outpost about the location of the promised support ships, but UFS replied that the Gazi Union, a rival union in the Milky Way was invading UFS, and the support ships were all away to help the troops. After informing the other countries about this message, the plasma cores of the UFS outpost exploded, completely wiping out the outpost and leaving the others helpless.

Suddenly, there was a message saying "Don't worry." Regulus Union thought that it was, finally, the UFS, but instead was actually a powerful and dangerous nation, the Androx Horde. The said country promised to give all the countries in this sector death.

Episode 2
As Androx Horde advances towards the other nations, Regulus Union quickly forms an alliance consisting of Ytterus(later Great Ytterus), Daix Republic, Gamis Republic and Aribus. It is revealed that Androx Horde defeated the UFS outpost in D-7, and proceeds to invade other sectors such as D-17. As Androx Horde was broken up from civil wars, the alliance defeated Androx Horde, but Regulus Union and Taza are conquered. Before Androx Horde surrenders, he claimed that he had invented a weapon prototype "so deadly that you cannot test it". He also claimed that he has hidden this prototype where no one can find it.



When the nations were discussing this death message from Androx Horde, a message from UFS has been delivered to Torus. The message apologises for the lack of UFS support in D-17. The message also says that the Gazi Union has been invading UFS, and there is a map of the Milky Way attached. The information on the map tells the nation that the Gazi Union has conquered almost all of the C sectors, and more than half of the D sectors are now independent, including D-17.

D-17 fell into a state of panic after the announcement of the message, Great Ytterus suggested that instead of sitting here and doing nothing, they should try and help the UFS with the war, but this suggestion was quickly put down by Nycon. He explained that the battlefield is too far. Second Titanius Empire was filled with joy when he heard the news, and wanted to expand more since the UFS can't control them. However, Torus and Scorpulus attacked him instead and the country broke into several pieces. The same fate happened to Daix Republic and Aribus when they don't have enough food to feed their own citizens. They reformed and cut their territory.



Meanwhile, a scanner shows to, supposedly, discover the weapon prototype invented by the late Androx Horde. A voice seems to be happy at this result, and announced that Phase 2 has started. This scanner is revealed to be positioned in The Ministry of Space Exploration of The Argonis Federation.

Episode 3
The episode starts with Torus annexing Centauri because Centauri was too "annoying". Several small nations start to complain that they can't defend nor feed themselves, and are vunerable to any attack. Argonis Federation steps in and introduces "Operation Nuitri", which is a international food aid programme for small nations. The programme offers small nations free food in return for a share of the nations' GDP. Also, the transportation ships will be all monitored by Argonis.

Multiple nations start to join the programme, such as Tau, Miu etc. Great Ytterus remarked that it is suspicious that Argonis is suddenly this generous. New Aribus and New Daix Republic agrees, saying that it is also suspicious that the contract requires all transportation ships to be monitored by Argonis himself.

As the popularity of the programme increases, the population of D-17 increases enormously as nations from D-16 and D-18 come to receive food aid. Tigras is afraid that D-17 will eventually run out of space, but Argonis informs everyone that he will also provide "inter-sector" services.

After a while, Torus once again receives a message from UFS. The message claims that Gazi is making huge advances in the galaxy, and the Independence Crisis of the D sectors are still not yet solved. UFS asks all nations to remain calm no matter how dire the situation gets, hinting that UFS are losing the war.

After the announcement of the message, panic breaks out. Diosian Assembly and Themelus decides to migrate somewhere safer. Great Ytterus comments that they are stupid because no one can outrun Gazi.

New Aribus suddenly informs Great Ytterus and NDR about an intel he received: Argonis found the weapon prototype that Androx Horde claimed to have hidden, and is mass producing it now. The trio decides that Operation Nuitri is more complicated than everyone thought.



Meanwhile, in Argonis, it is shown that Argonis is indeed mass producing the weapon, named AX-4. It also shows a map of D-17, with countries that joined Operation Nuitri under flashing red lights. A person seems to be inspecting the monitors. A officer of lower rank reports that they have found a box in which they cannot open inside the prototype. The person inspecting the monitor dismisses the information, he just orders the officer to store the box in the "Base".

He says "What matters now, is this. For Argonis."

Trivia

 * The idea of this series came before the first episode of Alternate Future of Asia was posted, which was its prequel. In fact, the first prototype slide was made before Alternate Future of Asia was made.
 * This series is heavily inspired by Star Trek, even some of the country colors come from a Star Trek map.
 * The country colors tend to be dark to make it seem half-transparent when it isn't.
 * The position of D-17 on the galaxy map is actually scientifically incorrect, if it were accurate, the sector where Earth is positioned should be around the C sectors instead.
