In this universe, the Creterakians, using their sheer overpowering numbers, have conquered several species and now control and oversee all 'official' aspects of the galaxy.

As a means to maintain order without violence, the Creterakians devised a distraction for the masses: the Galactic Football League.

The offensive and defensive lines are composed of the Ki, a race of huge, agile creatures with enormous mass.

His contract is purchased by underworld mogul Gredok the Splithead, who is a Quyth Leader, or Shamakath, and suddenly Quentin is on his way to 'The Combine' to get cleared before he starts playing with the Ionath Krakens, a Tier 2 football team.

A great deal many people attempt to clear the Combine, a former Creterakian prison station, with biological and cybernetic enhancements in place.

The Creterakians require all football players to go through the extensive testing for enhancements in The Combine as any modification or 'Mods' are highly illegal.
