In 2015, the Earth faced a threat from beyond the stars. The enemy had technology far beyond our own, and they were legion. Despite the challenges, humanity banded together, forming an organization called X-Com, with the sole purpose of fending off the foe. Time and time again, the organization proved itself on the field of battle, adapting and changing as the situation required, turning the weapons of the enemy against them with brutal efficiency. Despite their prowess, losses continued to mount. Then came Meld. Tiny machines, possessing mechanical and organic properties, with an unprecedented ability to construct bonds between flesh and metal. The tale is long, and shrouded in mystery. The organization was secret, and remained so long after the war ended in 2016.
The year is now 2230. A mining vessel on a routine trade run picked up a mysterious signal out on the fringes of space, and the mega-corporation Weyland-Yautani sent a team to investigate. They found more than they bargained for.
