When the Xenoid threat was discovered, human society was thrust into
an era of martial law. Security became top priority, at the cost of
individual liberty.In the face of this
growing oppression, many left their homeworlds in search of freedom. The
Freerunners fled, to explore and settle the new frontier planets.When
Enforcers from the homeworld pursued them in a military effort, the
Freerunners were forced to defend themselves. This was the beginning of
the great human civil war which continues to this day.In hope of
defending your settlements against threats, both human and alien, you
have enlisted as a pilot with the Freerunners.
