Maelstrom builds on the fantastic technology of the perimeter engine and marries it to an all-new Sci-fi setting and plot.
Set in 2040, after a cataclysmic event has all-but wiped out humanity, leaving two factions of humanity to try and secure what’s left. The Remnants, an ad-hoc band of resistance fighters led by former General James Buchanan are engaged in a Guerrilla campaign against the technocratic Ascension- who have at their fingertips fantastic technologies such as transforming units, and have used them ruthlessly to further the ideological aims of their leader, Arlan Khan. This fighting among the remains of humaity attracts the attention of Alien forces, who see a weakened planet right for the taking.
