 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.
