In 2199, the colony ship Rebecca Lee arrived at the second planet orbiting Beta Canum Venaticorum. Every scan of Beta CVn II showed the same thing: a perfect world for sustaining human life; a paradise 27 light years from Earth; a new home for humanity. The colonist christened it "Elysium IV" and disembarked onto its surface.

Then the Kerak came.

They annihilated the fledgling colony on Elysium IV. Almost fifty thousand people died in the assault. And that was only the beginning.

The Kerak moved across the galaxy, extinguishing every human settlement in space. Sixteen other colony ships were destroyed in less than two years. Nearly a million people, gone forever.

Then they set their sights on Earth.

Before anyone could react, the Kerak fleet destroyed the last operational colony ship at Saturn and continued to Earth. When the Kerak arrived, they vaporized thousands of shuttles trying to escape, and obliterate four of the five evacuation vessels in orbit.

And then, Earth was gone.

All was not lost, however. The fifth evacuation ship, the Armstrong, has managed to escape, carrying with it the most precious cargo of all -- twenty thousand evacuees, the sole remnants of the human race. But before the Armstrong can get clear, the Kerak are able to infiltrate the ship -- and now, you must protect the surviving human beings, no matter the cost.

In Space Siege, you are a highly-trained soldier named Seth Walker, and you are the only thing standing againts the Kerak and their campaign of genocide. Over the course of the game, you will rescue endangered survivors of the Kerak assault, fight harrowing enemies in every corner of the massive Armstrong and upgrade your body with powerful cybernetic weaponry.

A game of devious tactics, frenetic combat and split-second decisions, Space Siege is a brand new science fiction-themed action RPG developed by Chris Taylor and Gas Powered Games, the creators of Dungeon Siege I & II and Supreme Commander.
