Thank you to everybody who has alpha tested our game so far. A number of small bugs have been brought to our attention and they are now patched with this update. 1. First level being too hard. 2. Items not disappearing when used in battle. 3. Addition of item drops for enemies. 4. Walking through walls on certain maps. As a workaround for now, if you experience combat balancing difficulties, there's a difficulty slider in the options menu. Version 0.4 will be coming out in a few weeks and will have many more improvements added. The 0.39 build fixes the biggest 0.38 bugs. Thank You, Psychronic Game Studios

The year is 2357. Humans have explored the stars and colonized many worlds under the authority of the Earth Systems Alliance (ESA), a government controlled by powerful interstellar organizations. An alliance in name only, it is in reality, a brutal empire.

The Earth Systems Alliance (ESA) is embroiled in a civil war with a faction known as the Novus Federation. They are made up of former ESA colonists, corporations and military personnel who oppose Alliance rule and actively undermine ESA activities.

Both sides have committed war crimes on civilian populations. This has destabilized the balance of power in the region, creating chaos.
