Three metal monsters.

Three silvery, glittering bodies of metal reared up from the soil of Asia towards the eternally blue sky of
the great continent. Their conical noses seemed to sniff toward the stars.

On the exterior, the spaceships resembled the first rockets that flew from the Earth to the Moon,
initiating a new era for mankind. But the resemblance was strictly external.

centre in the world.

Lonely lay the spacious test terrain of the New Power under the broiling heat of the afternoon sun. In the
distance soared the skyscrapers of Terrania, formerly known as Galacto-City, the future capital of a
