Story
An asteroid named Vulcan's Hammer is detected to be on a collision course with Earth, and all attempts to divert it from this path have failed. A mission is organised to create a colony on a world elsewhere in the galaxy as the last hope for mankind. You are in charge of that mission.
Single-player gameplay Gameplay starts with the player choosing what equipment they choose to bring to the colony and choosing a site for the future colony. Once this is done, gameplay shifts to the colony screen, where the player can organise research and other day-to-day colony tasks.
