55 Shade carries a personal grudge against the Bool family, which puts the protagonist on a direct collision course with the reigning Galactic League Champion, Kestar Bool. That grudge is what makes Shade useful to Darius Pax, the League's founder, who is trying to wrest control of his circuit back from Kestar. Pax recruits Shade specifically to challenge and unseat the corrupt champion, so revenge and Pax's agenda end up pointing the same direction.

12-Within The Galactic League, Shade and Kestar Bool are framed as the two central figures of the campaign, even though many other pilots are competing for the top spot. The story is built around that rivalry. For how Shade's arc plays out across the runs-based structure, see Story and Campaign, and for the full supporting cast, see Characters.
