Protek

The game is set on 22nd-century (2155) Earth in the wake of severe global disaster.

An Orwellian government called the Commonwealth tyrannically rules Earth with an army of artificially intelligent drones. Earth's population is under one billion people and suffers from a shortage of habitable land.

Advanced technology allows limited regions of Earth to be environmentally cleansed and habitable. As land becomes available there is intense competition to colonize the area and control that region's technology.

This competition sets the stage for much of the game's campaign action.
