Two years following Earth's introduction to galactic society, humanity's leaders found themselves in the year 2026, uncertain about what the future might bring. But when an intergalactic freighter crashed in the Pacific ocean, a coalition of countries sent their leading experts to the nearby group of islands to establish a scientific research center, and were shown a world of new resources and opportunities never before imagined.

While not a Utopia, Earth's vision had become narrowed, focusing on well-being and prosperity in a way that conflicted with the venture-seeking values of generations past. As a result, heightened security was necessary for the islands, to protect the people and technology that was vulnerable to exploitation.

The Australian Orc Auxiliary was up to the task, sending their specialized warfighters to the islands just in time to defend against a detachment of corporatocratic mercenaries. Succeeding in protecting the Islands, the Orcs were invited to stay for longer tours: to remain vigilant in seeking any remnant forces hiding on the islands, and to continue defending against further hostile action.
