The core of the game is spent in resource management and researching new technologies for space ships and base improvements. However, the Martian mutants consider themselves the superior race and want Earth for themselves, meaning a war is inevitable. As the commander of Moonbase, it is your job to ensure the survival of mankind by exploring the Solar System for other habitable planets and moons, and ultimately re-establish life on Earth. All that is left of humanity is a small, self-sufficient colony on the surface of the Moon, and a race of mutant humans on Mars.
However, a 20 trillion ton asteroid has collided with Earth, making it uninhabitable. In the game, humanity has colonized the Moon and Mars.
