The asteroid mines of the galaxy have become a valuable resource in the quest for Galactic Domination. Without a viable source of raw ores, the Solar Confederation Syndicate cannot survive in the titanic battle against the forces of the Outer Rim. There have been reports of parasitic expeditions by these creatures into the inner asteroid mines of the S.C.S. Intelligence reports are vague at present, however, updated information will be provided during your missions to follow. Speculation indicates that the forces of the Outer Rim are massing a fleet of awesome power. Because the Outer Rim of the Galaxy is not rich in anything but dirty ice and rock, it is probable that the people of the S.C.S. will suffer by the enemy whose quest is for a destiny of darkness for the Galaxy.
