In the year 2507 the Scourge invaded humanity’s home on Earth and the Cradle Worlds. Utterly devastating mankind, the alien race dominated the survivors, using them as hosts for their weak forms. Humanity fled to the far reaches of the galaxy, hiding on the Colony Worlds. Now, 150 years later, the United Colonies of Mankind return, bringing war and the Reconquest to the parasites. The Scourge have had time to prepare, inhabiting living metal machines ready to melt their enemy with deadly plasma weapons. Armed with highly mobile utilitarian vehicles and weapons, the UCM are taking the fight to Earth to rid their homeworld of Scourge once and for all.
