The story takes place in the far future when humans have become a space-faring race, traveling from planets to planets, galaxies to galaxies and from one part of the universe to another. Their bodies are heavily modified through genetic engineering that gives them super-human abilities. At galactic scale, this sort of traveling is possible due to the breakthrough technologies that allow faster-than-light travel. These people can harness power from stars and make efficient use of fuel. But even among these advanced technology, living in bodies that are barely human, the humanity of people does not change. Even when they shine among the stars, they cannot stop their minds from the very thoughts and feelings that make us all human.
