Phawaq is set in a world where three regions are in constant war.
They focus primarily on technology. Their mascots are usually the black eagle (anka). They live mainly in floating cities and certain stations around the galaxy.
They focus primarily on the use of beasts and monsters. Their mascots are usually the Andean cat (帽awi). They inhabit mainly the mountains of different planets and also possess galactic stations.
They focus primarily on shamanism. Their mascots are usually the amaru (a powerful mythical giant serpent). They live mainly in the jungle areas of different planets. They don't have galactic stations, but travel through the galaxy using their "magic".
The first act begins on Maypichusqa, a planet in the Nawpakama galaxy. There, Oktrin has large experimentation centers where they mutate humans to turn them into weapons. Okgan discovered these centers thanks to spies, so they deployed a series of Okganian ships to destroy these experiments. The Oktrinian forces tried to defend themselves upon learning of this, but due to Okgan's well-planned surprise attack, they were defeated. Illari, one of the main leaders of the Okganian ships, entered the experimentation centers to investigate what was happening there. In the center, there were beasts and mutant humans that managed to escape from their cages due to the security system being altered by the surprise attack. These beasts began attacking Illari, so she had to eliminate them. However, suddenly, more Oktrinian forces began to arrive, forcing Illari to find a way to set everything on fire and escape. Illari placed explosives throughout the experimentation center and tried to escape, but the Oktrinian forces intercepted her in the air. Therefore, Illari had to use secret weapons and new tactics to defeat these new enemy forces. However, before defeating the last enemy, one of the engines of Illari's aircraft began to fail, causing it to crash to the ground. The remaining Oktrinian forces took advantage of Illari being weakened and managed to capture her. Thus, Illari ended up being held in one of the highest mountains of Oktrin on the planet Hampatu, one of the planets conquered by Oktrin.
Illari was trapped in a high-security prison where she was tortured by Oktrin's military forces. Zupac, one of the most powerful military leaders of Oktrin, had the objective of obtaining key information regarding the strategic positions of Okgan's military bases. Therefore, Zupac began interrogating Illari regarding this strategic information, but Illari did not want to give information about it. Then, Zupac, who has electricity abilities that he was able to master through training, began generating electroshock attacks on Illari with the aim of forcing her to reveal sensitive information regarding Oktrin. However, Illari did not want to reveal any type of information, so she was sent to be executed since she was not useful as a prisoner of war. After being executed, Illari's body was discarded in a forest of Hampatu, which was the planet where Illari was held. However, all was not lost as some members of the Antis managed to find the body and took it to one of their strongholds they had in an area they had taken from Hampatu. On that plateau, the Antis placed the body and performed one of their rituals to revive Illari's body. The ritual was successful, so Illari's body was revived. But, Illari knew that when the Antis revive you, there is a price to pay, which is to become an Anti and work for them. The Antis wanted to conquer the planet of Hampatu, so they asked Illari to fulfill a deadly mission. The mission consisted of infiltrating Oktrin's main base on Hampatu and placing an explosive capable of eradicating that military base. Illari was in debt so she accepted the mission, and entered the base managing to bypass the main guards. But, finally the beasts of Oktrin were released to face Illari, but she was able to stop them since she used the sorcery abilities that were granted to her by the Antis. Therefore, Illari managed to reach the point where she had to place the explosive and proceeded to place it. However, just before Illari activated the explosive, Zupac appeared, who was determined to stop her. Nevertheless, thanks to the new magical powers obtained, Illari was able to defeat him.
Illari managed to activate the explosive with a 30-second timer, but she realized that there was no way to escape with enough time for the explosive not to reach her. It is at that moment when Zupac, almost dying, tries to convince her to deactivate the explosive. Illari realized that it was an impossible mission, and she was not willing to sacrifice her life for that mission, so she was convinced by Zupac. Illari deactivated the explosive in time, avoiding the destruction of Hampatu. Zupac offered to train Illari and teach her to master electricity. He also offered to give her protection from the Antis, who would go after her upon learning that she failed her mission. All this in exchange for Illari no longer attacking Oktrin again and joining them. Illari was very interested in learning Zupac's abilities, so she accepted the deal. Zupac told Illari that in order to obtain the power of electricity, she first had to perform a ritual that involved sacrificing a specific beast to the god Illapa. This beast was called Illa Uqllu, it had the shape of a giant hawk but instead of feathers, it had fur, and instead of a beak, it had giant fangs. Likewise, this beast was capable of generating and launching lightning with every part of its body. Zupac and Illari headed to an Illa Uqllus zone with the aim of finding the beast and sacrificing it. Upon arrival, they managed to find several beasts, so the hunt had begun. Illari faced one of the beasts and managed to defeat it, although with considerable difficulty. After that, 2 more beasts came to face Illari, but she managed to drive them away. Now, it was time to perform the ritual. Illari had to absorb the beast's soul to acquire its powers. The god Illapa was invoked and the ritual was performed correctly. Now, Illari not only had magic powers but also electricity.
What Illari did not know was that, by accepting the deal, she had become chained to Illapa's will. Zupac had deceived her on purpose: he knew that if Illari knew the real price, she would never have obtained the powers of the lightning god. Thus, Zupac ensures that Illari will pay, with an eternity of servitude, for all the crimes committed against Oktrin. Since then, Illari was no longer alone in her mind. Voices charged with electricity resonated within her, implacable orders that she could not disobey. The first mission came like thunder: she had to go to the Qatu reactors鈥攁n ancestral source of energy that Illapa gave to humanity centuries ago. But humans perverted that gift. Instead of protecting life, they used it to manufacture weapons of mass destruction. Now Illapa demanded that what was his be returned to him. Illari had to infiltrate and destroy each reactor so that Illapa could absorb the Qatu energy again. To achieve this, she would have to combine the divine power that ran through her body with her own combat abilities, facing all the forces that rose in her path. And, as she advanced, the storm within her mind would only grow.
