I. STORY
The human race had existed for so many millennia in the relative safety of their
Terran Solar System. For so long they had lived on their home planet of Earth, and more
recently Mars, in constant speculation of other, extra terrestrial life forms. Soon this
speculation turned to fear, and they extended their military efforts towards the vast
distances of space. They pillaged and plundered the minerals from all of the Terran
planets, refining them into weapons of warfare. They had constructed such an impregnable
web of satellites, minefields and restless computerized warships, which patrolled the
system constantly, capable of destroying any object which appeared suspicious. This
defense served remarkably well, yet it could have no influence on the one thing that
destroyed them.
With the expansion to other planets, there was no shortage of minerals for the
exploitation of humanity. However no other planets contained the vast energy sources
present their own world, Earth. As such, they had the materials to use, but very little
power to use. For years the physicists had been exploring the enormous energies that could
be released by a simple atom, and had begun a test which would bring about an end to the
system's energy shortages. The experiment proceeded well --- a little too well, and the
physicists had no way of controlling the overwhelming power of the reaction. The reaction
consumed more and more of the earth, growing in strength with each atom it consumed, until
the heat became so great that it exploded, leaving the Earth a deadly mess.
Having rocked the planet out of its orbit, and consuming its entire atmosphere,
the explosion sent a shockwave into space. Like a ripple on water, it consumed other
colonies in the system, the intense radiation eradicating all life. The Earth itself,
rocketing through space and spinning in unpredictable directions, was ruined. All
remaining life quickly was destroyed due to a lack of oxygen and exposure to the sun's
deadly rays.
A traveler who had come off course passed through the system and, discovering its
emptiness, send the information to the High Senators of the Imperial Theocracy (the
governing body of the multi-verse). They began an investigation into the matter, gathering
data about the explosion and removing all the valuables on the planet. After concluding
that the explosion was self-incurred, they deployed sentry robots to look over the planet
until they could remove the remaining precious goods.
Soon after, the system was condemned, the Imperial Theocracy had grown tired of
the investigation. This was an invitation to all the pirates, mercenaries and bounty
hunters to plunder the planet, looting all they could before anyone else could arrive.
Being high in precious metals, the stakes were high. The scum of the universe had all
converged here, ready for battle. With their zero gravity pioncycles and their deadly
arsenal of weapons, they will combat each other and the robotic scientists, for the
treasure of a lost civilization. To the winner will go endless wealth and power; to the
losers will go death and humiliation.

Well alot of people like and help me with the Critical Blow FAQ so I decided to do
another FAQ for a game that was worthy of doing one for. The AsC-33- Sponsored me in doing
this FAQ and let me tell you the cash was much appreciated.
