Players assume the role of an ensign in the Ranger Squadron, piloting a transforming mechanized Starfighter to defend against ruthless pirate factions and treacherous alien adversaries, ranging from the scavenging Junkers and paramilitary Brooksea to the reviled Xanorra and vicious Sha’har zealots.

In the game, players can create unique characters, construct and customize their transforming Starfighters to suit their playstyle, and engage in high-intensity combat both in space and on the ground. Their mission is to protect human colonies from relentless pirate hordes, mysterious alien civilizations, and secure strategic locations to defend humanity’s territories.
