StarCraft - Survival
In a distant future where a handful of far-flung human colonies are lorded over by a bloated, inefficient government, something dark looms just over the galactic horizon. When Sergeant Dalton was dumped in the wastelands of a backwater colony world, he was happy to fade into obscurity. He'd fought for it all. For duty, for honor, for justice, for money. In the end, what did it matter? Now, bitter and broken, he wants to be left alone. But that all changes when he finds himself in the midst of an invasion from not one, but two brutal alien races. With a half-psychotic best friend and a mysterious telepathic assassin riding shotgun, Dalton soon finds himself not just struggling for survival against insurmountable odds, but acting as an uneasy leader to the scattered survivors of the ongoing conflict.
