Councillor, we have a big problem. The Bion commandos have just destroyed our fighter pilot training school. ALL of our fighter pilots have perished, along with most of our fighters. You, as a retired pilot, are our ONLY remaining pilot. Fortunately, Hellbender, our experimental assault craft, has survived. Unfortunately, that Bion attack is likely only the first wave. You must take the craft and destroy the Bion attack. Good luck to us all.

Nexus - The Jupiter Incident, released in November 2004, is a real-time stategy game set in space. The gameplay consists of controlling a small number of complex and highly detailed capital ships through a story based campain. The game is very much about micromanaging the few ships you control. You define the loadout for each ship before a mission and once in mission you can adjust energy levels and determine the targeting of individual weapons on each ship. Think Star Trek more than Star Wars. Despite the game's age, its graphics are still quite impressive. Unfortunately, it is a bit buggy.
Sci-fi simulation. Travel back in time to prevent a disaster.
