Story
In the 23rd century, a rare precious mineral, known as Diithlaxium and used to power faster-than-light travel, is discovered 67 light years away on a planet called Resucamdiva. A space race of sorts is launched featuring the colonized planets of the solar system racing to be the first to claim the mineral deposit. Earth, Mercury, Mars and Pluto all launched ships. Many years pass and soon the race is forgotten. Eventually the Mars ship, the Atlantis, is the last ship from the solar system closing in on the planet rich with ore, the others having broken down in one-way or another. Suddenly, two alien races known as the S'pht and Pfhor attack Atlantis. The ship sends a distress signal, which takes about 67 years to reach Earth.
At the time the signal is received, a veteran marine of the deadliest battles in UESC space history is enjoying a well-deserved vacation aboard the floating resort, Rubelasia, in Earth’s high atmosphere. He is called away from his vacation to be sped away to Atlantis for search and possible rescue.
