The Earth had never been a threat to the 
Silver Alliance. Its lack of technology and
 constant war amongst itself successfully kept 
it at bay for many millennia. However, as the
 leaders of the great planets had feared, the 
Earth's technology finally reached that of the rest
 of the Solar System in the year 2104 with their 
mastery of life energy, which could be used to
 aid in everything from construction, to healing, 
fighting, and traveling. With this revelation 
they quickly forged ahead into a new era of 
everything; seemingly nothing was without benefit 
from "life energy renewal," as the pioneering 
scientists called it. 

	It was at that time the Silver Alliance, 
the organization of all the other planets, began
 to feel the slight strain of pressure from Earth. 
Now that they had their own means of inter-space travel, 
they wanted to reap the benefits thereof, and thus 
be let into the Silver 
Alliance. The Alliance was rightfully apprehensive, 
but Earth soon became threatening, alluding 
to conquest of the Moon, a neutral satellite that 
served as a centrality for the Silver Alliance.
 
	The Moon, being the Earth's closest 
neighbor, was a peaceful place of relatively low 
inhabitance. Its nonviolent, successful chain of 
leadership under a succession of Queens had appealed 
to the Silver Alliance hundreds of years before as a 
prime place for their affairs to occur. The Queen at 
the time had graciously accepted the offer, and each 
planet sent its youngest princess to train as a Planetary 
Senshi. They would offer protection to the Moon's Royal 
Family on behalf of the Silver Alliance for allowing the 
Moon to be its hub. This deal worked very successfully. 

	At an Interplanetary Meeting, leaders fought over 
what would be done about Earth's threats. An alliance 
was necessary, the Moon was too precious an asset to risk
losing. Finally it was decided that a partial alliance 
would be made with the Earth, allowing them access to 
Silver Alliance trading privileges but nothing else. The 
kind of alliance to be made was the next issue, for the
Earth had no real ties to any of the other planets, and 
the words of the dignitaries would mean nothing to 
Earth's leaders. Finally, after weeks of negotiation and 
discussion, a conclusion was reached and an offer made 
to the King of Earth.

	The alliance proposed to the Earth, deemed the 
Golden Alliance, would tie the Earth in directly to 
the Silver Alliance via the Moon. The conjunction would 
take place by one of Earth's oldest traditions: marriage 
between representatives of the two joining parties. The 
representatives chosen were the Prince of Earth and the 
Princess of the Moon, along with their personal guard. 
The Prince's personal guard were the Generals of the North, 
South, East, and West armies, and Princess's were the 
Planetary Senshi of the four inner planets. This would 
create ties not only to the moon, but also to Mercury, 
Venus, Jupiter, and Mars, since the Senshi were also 
Princesses taken from their home planets. The Golden 
Alliance was approved by both parties, and the wedding 
was arranged on the Moon.

	We begin our story there, two weeks before the 
Golden Alliance's implementation. The Prince and his guard 
have been given a ball in celebration of their arrival, 
and also as a way for the betrothed couples to meet one 
another. It is here that we realize the effect of 
high-level political decrees, and the way it changes the 
individuals who are concerned. They are merely pawns in 
the great game of politics, and we meet them as they 
realize this. They are forced together by powers greater 
than they will ever be or have, and here we shall see their
 struggle to cope, understand, and hopefully, love....
