Background
Earth, in the year 2114, was suffering from a population crisis and
exhaustion of natural resources. The atmospheric conditions fluctuated
to the extreme and no life on the earth could avoid being damaged by the
intense heat and cold. Moreover,the portent of the fourth glacial age
accelerated colonization of other planets and migration of citizens to
another galaxy. The Interplanetary Transit Law, which was the biggest
obstacle for the advancement of mankind into other galaxies, was amended
and a new space route was developed based on the space warp. There was
soon found a planetary system that was formed around the same period as
the Earth solar system and wished to build a utopia there. As the
atmospheric conditions of the 4th and 5th planets were suitable for
human habitation, each nation immediately dispatched special work forces
to develop colonies for their benefit. With the conflict between
countries being mostly diminished due to the formation of the Planetary
Union, criminals remained on Earth and corrupt government officials
united to expand their influence to immigration agencies to dominate the
new planetary system. Their attempts continued for three years
eventually resulting in an open revolt against the colonies. The rebel
army was repressed by the Governor General and troops dispatched from
the Earth. In the end the Planetary Union came under the direct
control of the Governor General.
The rebel army sought refuge on a planetoid near the colony and
continued to lash out in acts of piracy against freighters and merchant
ships that ferried between earth and the new utopia. The Governor
General, whom did not wish to lose his soldiers in petty skirmishing,
focused on the development of the colony. The relative peace of this
arrangement, however, was short-lived. Unidentified life-forms attacked
the 6th colony and completely destroyed the installation. Troops were
sent to the colony to regain control of the situation but they were ill
prepared to face the life-forms, and defeated outright.. Subsequently,
mercenaries who had previously earned livings defending merchant cargo
ships from pirate attacks, were invited with the promise of great
rewards, to aid the Governor General troops in the destruction of
the alien threat. Equipped with the latest high-tech weaponry, as well
as genetically and cybernetically enhanced, the mercenaries have become
the most powerful weapon in the fight against the creatures. The
availability of cloning means that the only thing a mercenary need fear
in battle, is running out of money for re-equipping and re-growing
themselves after dying in battle. The colony, once a utopia filled with
new hopes, has become a deadly battle field where the distinctions of
life and death are no longer meaningful.
