Explore a Hostile Solar System As you expand your sphere of influence an AI storyteller will present events and situations which bring new depth to your story. Some events will be random while others begin at the start of your campaign. As your story unfolds, you’ll also face the forgotten colonists of Alpha Centauri, who seek to reclaim their home system. Story When civil war between the Central Earth Government and a collective council of corporate interests suddenly erupts, Earth's Defense Grid is compromised in the chaos. With all ships marked as hostile by the grid, Earth has been fully isolated from the rest of the solar system. You take on the role of a corporate settler who has just been stranded on Mars. Trapped in an underground shelter, your only assets are a Builder Bot, a handful of construction resources, and an instructional contingency AI named Ares. From these lowly origins you must first build a city, and then assemble a fleet of remote controlled warships to secure territory and advance your technology. Be quick about it, too, because you aren't the only one out here. Every other major corporation launched its own settlers to escape the devastation, and soon you'll find that there's just not enough solar system to go around.
