They were the last survivors of a dead Earth, castaways in an ocean of stars with not one they could call home. For nearly a century they drifted, suspended in cold sleep, while computer intelligences guided their hastily-built starship and searched, unsuccessfully, for an Earth-like world. Resources dwindling, the computers woke a few of the crew to make a desperate decision. If no Earth-like world could be found, how close was close enough? Their voyage ended on a world they named New Terra, in the same spirit that desert dwellers once named their towns after sources of water. In truth, it was nothing like Earth; stark, hostile, forbidding, and in its own way, beautiful. There the last few hundred surviving humans cobbled together a town from their meager supplies and what they could salvage from their starship and landers. At first the colony was known only as "Outpost," but as it grew, the colonists gave it a real name. They called it Eden...Outpost 2 features colony-building strategy and a mission-based, real-time, active environment that allows players to find many paths to one common goal. That goal is to build a spaceship and escape from New Terra, a planet beset by a terraforming microbe gone rogue. Outpost 2 features real-time multiplayer combat with over 2,000 types of terrain and 65,000 colors including the ability to choose open-ended play or defined missions.
