The plot:
Seeking prosperity on a newly colonized planet named Kaprical, the player is coerced to fight for survival, skirmishing against an unexpected totalitarian faction. By gathering followers, looting, purchasing, and capturing powerful droids, the player will eventually assemble a force to repel the intruder that took control of the planet's colonies in secrecy.
Types of missions:
Some of the game's missions objectives include eliminating hostile forces, escaping, destroying, exploring, capturing bases or equipment, and even contacting the orbital trading centers to send in dropships for resupply and rush to get them before enemies do. Players will, for the most part, decide the order of what missions to execute, each choice adding permanent consequences to the story's plot, impacting on future missions.
Apart from dealing with the invading force, factions will have to face off the planet's native and ferocious wildlife. There are some reports of behemoth-sized creatures that have terrorized some of the colonies.
