Caro's aircraft crashes on an island where, in tunnels under the island, she comes into contact with the Emperor Punt Vassius, a disembodied survivor of a long-dead imperial dynasty, who offers his support to her, including the many powerful military units entombed with him, in return for restoring the empire and doing his bidding.

Video cut-scenes originally shot in German and dubbed into English are interspersed throughout the game to progress the plot and provide information to the player.
