Planet Bound

Your planet is dying and the “Galactic Federation”, or GF for short, has uncovered ancient writings from an unknown race of aliens that spoke of a new home world in the outer reaches of the universe that can support human life. With this new knowledge the GF has put you in charge of a rag-tag group of explorers to find the planet and colonize. Your task is to take your starship with its crew of 6 and explore the distant galaxy for resources and artifacts to help gather clues to find the planet and send back it’s coordinates.

You will use your ships scanner to search the regions of space to find new planets to explore.

With the discovery of these new planets you will land and explore. Each planet will have its own type of resources or artifacts to help you gather clues to the location of the new world. All planets will be hostile and different races of aliens will attack your landing party and destroy your landing craft. After scanning the planet surface, you will travel to the area where the minerals are and mine for the valuable resources. These resources will allow you produce the necessary ship requirements such as fuel, weapons, shield energy, the ability to upgrade your cargo hold at a Federation space stations. Certain rare planets will have artifacts that will help provide clues to the location of the new home world.

If you can find the five alien artifacts, gather enough resources to provide the necessary fuel or ship functionality for the final journey to the home world, you will save mankind from extinction.
