Game Info:It is thirty-five years after the destruction by an unnamed hacker of the TriOptimum-owned Citadel Station, and SHODAN, the rogue AI controlling it. The Earth is principally governed by the Unified National Nominate (UNN), an organization which took power after the fall of Citadel, but mega-corporations such as TriOptimum still wield both technological and economic clout. TriOptimum scientists develop the theory for a faster-than-light starship drive, but the UNN is unwilling to allow TriOptimum sole access to the rest of the universe. After years of bickering and political maneuvering, a compromise is reached: a TriOptimum corporate starship, the Von Braun, is constructed, but on its maiden voyage, it will be accompanied by a UNN heavy destroyer, the Rickenbacker - ostensibly for protection against possibly hostile aliens. The Rickenbacker is crewed by UNN Navy, but includes a platoon of Marines, the UNN's combat specialists, and representatives of the OSA, experts in psionics and rumored to be the UNN's "black ops" division; the Von Braun's crew is composed of civilian scientists, technical personnel, and corporate pilots.
Your character is one of the Rickenbacker's soldiers, and, after training, the game starts as you find yourself waking from coldsleep aboard the Von Braun with no memory of the past weeks. An electronic message from Dr. Janice Polito has just arrived, telling you to come find her on Deck Four, but as you start your journey towards her, all you encounter are scenes of carnage and chaos; the logs of the crew members that you find do not yet explain what has caused things to go so very wrong...
