Game: Vigilance on Talos V

Story so far... 3021 AD: Killian Jaraad, a starship technician and single parent boards a colonial transport with his 5 year old daughter Colesce. In route to the colony on Sur 4, the colonial transport was attacked by biological ships belonging to the Xenos, a highly organized collection of hostile alien races. Jaraad and Colesce were separated, and Jaraad watched from his escape pod as the Xenos ships fled the wreckage of the colonial transport. Convinced Colesce had died aboard the transport, Jaraad devoted his life to destroying the Xenos once and for all. For three years Jaraad trained as a mercenary and weapons expert, tracking down and destroying Xenos ships and bases. 3024 AD: A mercenary known as E. Red gives Jaraad a crucial piece of information; the xenos have been collecting human slaves and are holding them on a planet in the Talos V system. With the realization that Colesce could be one of the prisoners, Jaraad heads towards the Talos V system, prepared to investigate each of the three planetary bases in that system in order to find his daughter. And so it begins... Your objective: Find, and destroy the evil Drektor. He is the leader of the Xeno's. He is a tough, and worthy opponent. His brain hides in different forms, so he'll be hard to find. You'll know him, when you see him though.
