Spoilers ahead

In 2107, Earth is under the iron rule of a military-political party known as the Bridgists. A galaxy-spanning rebellion against their control culminates in the near-total destruction of life on Earth, setting the stage for a desperate last stand. The rebels push back, but the Bridgists gain the upper hand near Proximia 2 in the Alpha Centauri system. After a brutal starship battle, the Bridgists claim victory, yet rebel Commander Tunis and Colonel Norris manage to escape aboard a time-travel shuttle that slips back to Earth in 1998. In a grim twist, the Bridgists destroy the rebel ship, even though it carries civilians.
