Now, many decades after their first landfall on a new planet, the proud survivors of the first expeditions beyond Earth look up to see the skies darkened by a new breed of pioneers.These newcomers were grounded not in the idealism of their predecessors, but on opportunism, resilience, ruthlessness, and above all a commitment to their own survival. From this tumultuous time, two new factions arose. Those left behind fell into a violent struggle over the quickly-diminishing resources on their barren home world. After the first wave of great colony ships departed Earth, the jubilation of humanity was short-lived.From your choice of sponsor and the make-up of your colony, to the ultimate path you choose for your civilization, every decision opens up new possibilities.
