Command an independent AI subroutine on Vega 4 in the year 2216. A corrupted central AI has terraformed the planet and fortified it with weapons and defenses to block human colonists, leaving you to seize control through strategic conquest. Build terminals to manage resources, power, and defenses across procedurally generated hex tile maps.
Engage in real-time battles while you expand and manage bases in a 25+ mission campaign or randomly generated skirmish battles. Craft custom maps with the extensive map editor. Strategy players who enjoy base management and real-time tactical combat will find a focused challenge here.
In the year 2216 an AI equipped vessel was created and embarked on a journey to a potentially habitable planet. Its primary objective was to terraform and pre-establish a settlement for humans on the 4th planet in the Vega star system, over 25 light years from Earth.
The ship took 41 years to arrive at Vega 4. Upon reaching the planet the AI determined that it could be terraformed and a signal was transmitted back to Earth to send a colony ship to arrive 200 years later.
Following the terraforming activity, the AI鈥檚 directives were overwritten and it began to develop weapons technology. It spread over the entire planet in an effort to prevent humanity from inhabiting the planet. Terminals were constructed to control the weapons and defenses, and to store resources and power.
Unknowingly to the AI, another AI subroutine activated in one of the terminals. Completely independent from the central, corrupted AI, this new entity had a new objective: to ensure that mankind safely reaches Vega 4. This subroutine is you and you must take back the planet at all costs."
