This time a new and an even more dangerous force is threatening the Galaxy. A new extremely hazardous cyber-life form appears on one of the planets that used to be under the Klissan control - powerful combat robots, who are not only capable of carrying out orders given to them, but who also have an intellect of their own. Possessed by their own programs, the battle machines come into space spreading fear and terror across the inhabited worlds.

Thanks to the humans these robots became known as the Dominators.

These three branches of machine evolution are at war with each other, which is only to the advantage of the Coalition Forces.
