The peace-loving Republic of Sardun is caught in a relentless cycle of aggression from its hostile neighbor, Gamibia. Refusing to retaliate and incite war, high-ranking military officials Major Zara and General Byrne-White decide to seek the assistance of MegaForce, a clandestine, highly advanced army of elite fighters from across the globe.
