Not everyone can be the galaxy's greatest badass, uniting a dozen civilizations after solving centuries old conflicts and leading the largest assault on the fiercest enemy. Not everyone can be the ultimate savior of the galaxy, plunging fearlessly into a hopeless battle against an unknowably large force with only hope and prayers. Not everyone can step up to the despairingly lonely role of leadership, unflinching as the world crumbles down around their ears. Not everyone can bear the enormous burden of risking their all, potentially making the ultimate sacrifice, to try and defeat an unstoppable fighting force the likes of which no one still living had ever seen, without cracking.
But, sometimes, ordinary people are called upon to achieve a greatness far reaching what they ever dreamed possible. The unknown, the untrained, the unimaginable, are called into action to stand against their worst nightmares, to pit their wits and their strength of will to survive against insurmountable odds. Sometimes, ordinary people are asked to stand when no one else will, to fight when no one else can and to do more than others dared to hope. And sometimes, ordinary people, when faced with an inevitable destruction, find an extraordinary strength and power within themselves that they didn't even know they had. These people are known as heroes. This is their story.
