Hey all, I apologize that I have been silent for so long. I was burnt out on having developed this game mainly for Desura, and eventually had gotten one of those real life jobs. I've finally switched tunes and found me a nice flex job and am hoping to...do what is needed on this project. I do appreciate the players who've enjoyed this game so far. For now, I've done my best to fix up the Linux versions with up to date libraries that should run on modern distros. Hoping for more in the future. I'm sorry for going silent for so long. I didn't know what to say knowing that I didn't have the time needed to make the changes that were being asked for. Right now the game is what it is, but I'd like to continue developing it to be something worthy of being on Steam. -Onion

The Ensign-1 was supposed to be your ticket out of this god forsaken solar system. You signed up in hopes of a new life, a chance to be part of humanities first extra solar colonization mission. Things were cut short however, when, after a couple of years into the mission, a distress signal was received from Earth. They were under attack by an unknown alien force, and then all went silent. Now, having had to cancel its mission, the Ensign-1 turns around, possibly as Earth's last defense against this new threat.

Play the role of Leon Deckard, one of Ensign-1's finest in it's space forces. Through a series of missions, it will be up to you to take back our solar system from the enemy, and you won't need to stay in your fighter to do it. You'll have the freedom to board other ships and stations, plant bombs, and man turrets. Ensign-1 is a tough as nails space combat game built around the idea of being able to leave your space fighter. You'll need to think creatively to make it back alive.
