The year is 2033, and our first manned mission to Mars is about to become reality. As a clock counts down the final 90 seconds to landing, an expert crew of astronauts endures the final harrowing moments before touching down on the red planet. Even with the best training and resources available, the maiden crew of the Daedalus spacecraft must push itself to the brink of human capability in order to successfully establish the first sustainable colony on Mars.

Five years after the successful maiden mission to the Red Planet and IMSF has established a fully-fledged colony, Olympus Town, but they cannot finance the Mars expedition alone. It’s now the year 2042, and doors are wide open to the private sector, but tensions arise among original mission-driven scientists and for-profit corporation, Lukrum Industries, who wants to send miners to red planet, creating new world of challenges for everyone.
