It has been two decades since the enemy first swept into the Solar System and attacked Earth. Humanity's forces put up a desperate fight for survival and, at great cost, slowed the enemy advance to a stalemate. Now, the heaviest fighting rages on continuously at the edges of the Solar System, far from the inner planets where a semblance of peace has returned.
It is against this backdrop that Earth intelligence discovered the locations of the enemy's homeworld and other planets within its wide-ranging domain. Hoping to force an enemy withdrawal and relieve pressure from Earth's defensive forces, the military formed a naval strike group to launch a surprise attack directly into their territory.
As captain of a Unified Earth Forces starship, you are thrust into the heart of the counter-offensive, leading daring missions deep into enemy territory. Your objective is to spearhead the assault, establish vital footholds, and pave the way for our Marine landing forces. Fly your ship to hostile planets, engage in thrilling ship-to-ship combat, and land on the surface to build fortified spaceports. Place a variety of emplacements to secure the area against waves of enemies. Of course, you can always use your trusty assault rifle in a pinch.
Build and Defend Planetary Fortifications
Think strategically as you deploy barriers, turrets, gates, and barbed wire on the planet to safeguard the area against relentless waves of enemies. Or, if it's been a long day, maybe you can just build a wall of turrets. The enemy will get the message. Create a secure zone to allow our Marines to land safely. After reinforcements arrive and you've succeeded in your mission, you can get resupplied with unlimited materials to continue building in a sandbox mode. Keep coming back to the planet to work on the base and fight off enemies!
Experience Intense Space Battles
Test your skills as a starship captain as you evade hostile fire, strafe alien space stations, and escort ships during fleet battles. Blast incoming missiles with your ship's point-defense turret and strike hard with your railguns. Dominate the fight and secure victory.
Relax and Enjoy Down Time
Fortified Space offers more than just adrenaline-pumping combat. Take a break from the battlefield to walk around your ship, talk to your crew, and read the news articles that update after each mission. Gather materials through asteroid mining, hydroponic farming, and composting. You can even kick around a soccer ball or play a target-shooting arcade game.
