Greetings Commanders,

As humanity banded together to strike down the penultimate Titan Raijin, the final Titan was plotting its next move... Swiftly jumping away from its previous invasion point, the final Thargoid Titan Cocijo has done what nobody expected. The Thargoid invasion of the birthplace of humanity, Sol, has begun.

The Thargoid forces have decimated the defence forces of Sol and its surrounding systems. Now, the birthplace of the human race stands on the brink of destruction. The time has come for every Commander to jump into their ships, load up their missile racks and do their part in the final battle.

Head to Sol now and join in the war for humanity that will go down in history!

Greetings Commanders!
