Set in the year 2046, the late Buck Rogers has become a martyr to many people. Through desperation the people awoke him from his frozen sleep sp that he could join the forces of NEO, New Earth Organization. With the help of Rogers, NEO was able to overthrow the Russo-American Mercantile(RAM)'s domination of Earth. Now NEO is trying to rebuild the planet and construct a military to fend off any future RAM attacks.

You and your party are new recruits in the NEO army. Put together a group of six characters assembled from a variety of races and careers. Characters can be: rocketjocks, warriors, engineers, rogues, or medics. Up to two non-player characters can also join your party. Explore the solar system and visit numerous planets. Take part in land battles as well as ship-to-ship space battles. It is up to you to protect Earth and destroy RAM's control of the solar system. ~ Jonathan Sutyak, All Game Guide
