Disposable Hero

By the middle of the 24th century mankind has taken to the stars, discovering strange, new and sometimes dangerous worlds.

In 2549 the Free Worlds bond was formed to ensure peaceful cooporation between major solar-systems.

In 2723 the discovery of a new star system also uncovered the existence of intelligent lifeforms. The system was named Meegan 12 and signs of a highly developed technology lead to the knowledge that man was no longer alone in the universe....

Starting their 29th century the Free Worlds were attacked by unknown forces. This war, commonly known as The Blaze ended in 2874. Almost half the Free Worlds population was killed and technology sunk to a level barely above that of the Earth's 20th century. Communication between individual star systems was near to impossible.

In the year 2867 a small group of men and women were selected for a highly specialised task force...D-HERO.

D-HERO was believed to be the only means of regaining lost technology and freedom. They succeeded in building a prototype spaceship capable of penetrating the alien strongholds. Alien BLUE-PRINTS were obtained during an alien transport by the remainder of the taskforce. The von Vonnegut method (opening space-time-interrupts at desired places) made it possible to tune up the ship on its flight through enemy territory; the ship is warped to the Factory where enhancements are made and thought out.

Rumours out there's an improved craft under design...

Now it's up to the man flying the machine, his reflexes and tactical abilities...
