A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away a war raged between the
forces of the Cisc Lords and the Risc Alliance.

Many systems were laid to waste.
The Evil Empire arose, led by the Emperor.
The Clone War broke out, only to be crushed by Lord Jobs.

The fate of the galaxy now depends on a young Gnu knight,
brought up in the icy wastes.
