In 2025 the planet Earth formed a powerful alliance with neighboring star systems and became know as the Earth Alliance. For 100 years Earth prospered and enjoyed more peace than in any time in Her history. In 2125, friction between rival parties struggling for control of the alliance resulted in Earth Alliance's breakup. All hell broke loose. This bloody war raged for 10 years. The year is now 2135 and after much upheaval and destruction, realizing continued fighting would only result in the total annihilation of all parties involved, a truce has been made. Earth Alliance will rebuild itself and usher in a new age of peace, prosperity and discovery.
There is a major hitch though. During the war many different factions rose up. Some of these factions tampered with all of the major trade routes through space by planting mines, dumping 'space junk' and a host of other atrocities. The result of these actions is a large asteroid belt caused by explosions of small planetoids that came in contact with mines and ships trying to make passage through the area. This space is littered with ship debris, unexploded mines, toxic waste and God only knows what else.
These sectors must be cleaned so that major trade routes can once again be reestablished with other worlds in the alliance. You're Sed Fransard, interstellar junk man. EA has contracted you to help perform clean up. They heard about the new high tech weaponry you've outfitted your ship with. These weapons pack major fire power, perfect for this job. It better work, considering it took all of last year's profits just to make the down payment and you're still working to pay off the rest of it.
You've done cleanup/salvage work before and especially with your new weapons, this should be pretty much routine right? NOT! Nothing could prepare you for the aftermath of war. Your sensors are showing much more junk and debris than EA bothered to mention. Oh, yeah, they also forgot to mention the HIGH GRADE toxic waste that has been dumped out here or the 'space junk' that sometimes shoots back. Maybe this is a little more than you bargained for, but you need the money. If you lose your loan, your business will go under.
Your objective is the clear all the objects in each sector. You will encounter various types of resistance such as mines, toxic waste, enemy ships and of course asteroids. You have a total of 4 weapons (3 shareware) to help you in your mission.

What is abandonware ?
