Story

The game takes place on a planet that is being Colonised and Mined by one of two large Mining Organisations, that have been fighting for Mineral-Rich planets; but they are also trying to keep their fighting secret from everyone, so as not to cause alarm or lose profits. The way they go about this is to try and take over Mining Stations by making attacks look like accidents. (Loss of Oxygen could be blamed on malfunction of damage from space debris). The Organisation that has taken the planet my game is set on, have tried to hide from everyone that they know about the planet, and that anyone is being moved there. To do this, they even lied to the Colonists and Colonial Defence (CD), and told them the location was a different planet. Somehow, the other Organisation found out about this, and decided to attack the planet a month after it had been colonised, so they could have everything set up and can take over the Colony and start mining with a readymade mine.

                 Their plan to do this was to use an E.M.P Emitter and launch it onto the opposite side of the planet from the Colony and Mine, wait for all the power to go, taking life support down at the Colony, and taking any ships that may be in Orbit trying to defend. What they didn’t know was that this planet was in the process of being Terraformed, and all power going out wouldn’t kill anyone indoors already, but outside, although survivable for a short time, is like the combination of the hottest desert and a blizzard together. Whilst sending out the unmanned ship with the EMP on board, it is spotted by luck from a patrolling defence ship, and is shot down before any ships have enough time to leave the area; so both sides ships start crashing down towards the planet.  Now both sides are stranded on the planet, no one knows where this planet is, and if any ship by chance comes close enough to help, they will also lose power and crash down to the planet.

                The story of my game takes place twenty years later, both sides are still fighting, but because almost everything, including most weapons, used some sort of computer, they now have to use whatever they can scavenge as weapons, and the only actual weapons useful are batons and revolvers that were given to the CD as side arms. The attacking Organisation crash landed by the Mines, so that is now their makeshift base, while the CD have turned the Colony into a walled of fort, and train everyone there to use weapons and fight when they need to. The Miners can no longer do their work, but because they where only there for work, and didn’t care now that pay wasn’t going to happen, decide to help at the Mine. Mark, my character, was 8 when the EMP went off, and was at the Colony when it happened, so he is now one of the trained recruits for the CD forces defending the Colony.
