Councilor
Six years ago, the Coalition of Independent Planets defeated their
most fearsome enemy, a race of warriors they had created—the
Bions. Their army in ruins, the few surviving Bions fled to the safety
of deep space. Thanks to your efforts, Coalition citizens could finally
enjoy peace. But the universe was forever changed.
Destruction of the Bion stronghold on planet Fury touched off
stockpiles of red sheol and the hyper-explosive carbonium. This
gave birth to a network of rift wormholes spanning the universe, a
mammoth superhighway linking the Coalition of Independent Planets.
Business and commerce boomed everywhere—except on Terran.
Exhausted by war and locked in the iron grip of poverty, many
Terrans felt victory had come at too high a price. Anti-military
sentiment flourished and civil unrest abounded. The Bions are at
the root of this turmoil.
Two days ago, the Bions killed all the Coalition’s qualified pilots on
Sebek. Their next target is the rest of the Coalition’s citizens. You are
the only person between survival and Bion domination.
Mission objectives
Get to your ship—there’s no time to waste. The situation is changing
quickly and the Council will keep you informed of developments. Your
new ship is called the Hellbender. Technological innovations in the
Hellbender’s Compass and navigation systems detect Bions and
Bion targets.
Intelligence reports that Bions have infiltrated at least six planets.
The Bions have advanced technology and are a dire threat to
Coalition citizens.
Councilor, you’re our only hope.
