Solar System Colonist
Steam

It’s high time that humanity went beyond Earth! People have set out to space and explored the Solar System, claiming it a new home. Asteroids, planets and orbital stations – all of these have been annexed by the brave daredevils and mercenaries hired to protect them. The space is now crowded and resources are worth their weight in gold. Some people have signed contracts to work for the corporations, but you are a lone wolf – freedom over safety, right?!

Prepare your spaceship and travel through the void between celestial bodies as well as glide above their surface. Try different vehicles and test yourself as a pilot. Upgrade your ship and wisely choose the destination – navigate between space junk and trace the route to your new home. Learn the history of the planets and impact their future – shall they can become bridgeheads of trade between colonies, research facilities or military bases? Choose the place that suits your needs best and settle down!

Red surface of the Mars, acid winds of the Venus or the icy, cold world of the Neptune – whichever environment you choose to live in, it will be filled with opportunities and adventures. Become a space cowboy and claim the new territory for yourself, but be aware that you are not the only one trying your hand in the colonization. Defend yourself against the corporations, other colonists and even against the pirates. In space no one can hear you scream!

Build and expand your station – add rooms, wings and specialized spaces. Focus on discoveries, researches or just on admiring this completely new world. Determine direction of development – the success of the colonization rests entirely on your shoulders! Put on the space suit and go outside the station to explore the surroundings and decide upon the best strategy. Be aware that the environment is quite hostile. You have to do everything in your power to survive!

Who knows what may lay beneath the thick layer of gases called the atmosphere? People aren’t the only threat in this new, briefly explored world. Who knows what biological experiments were carried out here? And by whom? Who said life must be biological? Maybe someone wants to buy samples? To have equal chances, you will have to use the latest technology – weapons, lasers and also robots. The latter may be treated as just tools, but can be befriended as well. You’ll need all the help you can get, since the danger is constant and the encounter – inevitable. So, it’s better to be safe than sorry!

Clear ceiling and dark space behind it. No one to bother you, no one to disturb you, but also no one to help you… Become self-sufficient, expand your base, explore the planet’s surface and earn some money. If you don’t feel like settling down on the planet, then simply change it! After all, you are the Solar System colonist experiencing the dawn of a new era in human spaceflight!
