Background


During the interstellar wars against the alien invasion forces, a vast majority of
earths colonies sustained major damage to their structures and defence systems. The
invasion force was repelled at great human loss, the earth colonies were slow to 
develop to their former civilized position.

To prevent such wide spread destruction from being forced upon the Earth colonies,
they banded together with mother Earth to form a peace keeping force. This peace
keeping force is known as Intercorp.

Intercorp is the military arm of the Earth Colonies and is funded by a user pay
policy. Any action that Intercorp engages in, is paid for by the colony or
colonies making the request.

Intercorp is structured into three main Task Forces. The Central Task Force is
made up of Humans and Intelligent droids known as Tekites. The Humans are the command
and both Humans and Tekites provide the main attack and counter attack forces of
Intercorp. The Key Task Force is made up of intelligent droids known as
Kapones. The Kapones provide ongoing defence at major or important installations owned
by the Earth colonies. The third section is the Centurion Task Force. It numbers 100
of the elite Tekites. You are the newest addition to the Centurion Taskforce.

The Centurions are a covert strike force which are mainly used in covert intelligence
operations or tactical strikes against enemy installations prior to the Central Task
Force arrival.

The colony of UropaČ is based on a small moon revolving around the planet of Jupiter, 
at one time known as Europa. The moon was almost destroyed during the wars, but due 
to the rich resources on the moon, the colonists re-built the moon and renamed it
UropaČ. The moon is situated on the outer reaches of the Earth controlling zone and
because of its strategic position, has been set up as a  major link in communications
and detection of hostile fleets entering the zone.

There are twelve bases, scattered across UropaČ , which are networked together
providing a unique system of integration. Each base is capable of space and sub-space
surveillance at different detection levels. Only the central communication base,
Castalia, is capable of direct contact with Intercorp. 

UropaČ detection systems were placed under the control of human colonists. These
colonists have no weapons or defence training and as a result of their peaceful
nature, the protection of the colony was charged to Key Task Force of Intercorp.

From suspected reasons of greed, the Key Task Force on UropaČ has rebelled against
Intercorp and has gained command of the moon. Communications with the moon 
have ceased and the fate of the colonists is unknown. The Kapones are acting as
mercenaries for one of Intercorps interstellar enemies and have been tasked
with the destruction of UropaČ.
