The year is 2163. Corporations have ruled the planet for nearly forty-four years and have installed their own planet-wide government. Wormholes were discovered over a century ago and man has taken to the stars due to dwindling resources. They have discovered thirty-four habitable planets with indigenous life forms who are not welcoming to their need for expansion. War has been declared on them all.

While being pursued by a Tunraqi raiding party across the vast desert, President Woodland and his bodyguard Namir finally make it to Outpost Purgatory. A lone helicopter involved in mistakingly shooting the President’s aircraft down disobeys orders and heads back to the crash scene. A large number of mercenaries are descending upon the Outpost in search of the huge bounty on the President’s head.
