It is the year 2046, and the Earth as we used to know it is no more. After facing the threat of destruction from the newly returned and powerful Soviet Union, the remnants of an alliance named the United American Federation launch a large number of civilians and military personnel into space, shortly before the United States is hit by multiple nuclear strikes.

But, upon arrival, something happened that most of the survivors didn't expect.

First contact with another sentient species.
