Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer

The celestial planet Conceyta orbits with its moon in a dust and gas covered solar system. Within its interior lurks an evil unknown to mankind, which holds a danger far greater than any threat that has ever existed before. In the depths of the gas giant, a dark, mysterious force has manifested itself, absorbing life and technology and assimilating everything in its wake. Spaceships, pilots, androids and computers: nothing is safe anymore. No one can escape the virus that infects all life forms, turning once brave heroes and peaceful colonists into angry, chaotic forces that fight each other, infecting more humans in the process. Soulless technology and hateful humanoids are all that remain of Earth's once-proud fleet. The galaxy as we know it is in danger of falling apart. War, death and chaos have a firm grip on civilization. Humanity is on the brink of extinction. Those who have not yet been infected - the Resistance, a band of mercenaries, soldiers and civilians - are Earth's last hope, and they share a common goal: to stop the deadly infection and destroy the core of all evil hidden in the depths of Conceyta. Scouts have embarked on a merciless mission to bring detailed plans and data about the location of the Force and its line of defense in a last ditch effort to save humanity. It so happens that the last remaining pilot, a mercenary and bounty hunter, is the only chance for survival, ironically driven by the desire for wealth and fame. Left with no other choice, the Resistance has developed a starfighter capable of intercepting the evil force, equipped with a lethal weapons system and extremely maneuverable. Without wasting time, the tenth and last prototype of the ship is handed over to the pilot. Its name: "Sldner-X." If the pilot succeeds, his name will live on forever in the memory of people. And so the battle begins.
