Star Prospector is a single-player strategy game set in a future science fiction universe.
It is the year 2158, and after a hundred years of space exploration humanity has still only visited a small fraction of our galaxy. Corporations routinely send out one-man prospectors, via warp gates, to locate energy-dense resource locations on remote planets and asteroids. Based on the prospector's findings, and if they manage to survive, the corporations launch large factory-builders to start full scale mining operations.
The Prospector Guild is an organization established to train, regulate, and provide jobs for the prospectors. Prospectors have become more than just mere miners. They are explorers, mercenaries, archaeologists, and entrepreneurs.
The Scavengers were once human exiles of Earth. Now they are cyborgs, spread in sparse groups across the unexplored worlds. Using whatever technology they could pillage, the Scavengers survived in small divided clans. Now Scavenger clans are uniting. Gathering their forces and attacking factories, science stations, and mining operations on undefended planets. The Earth Military Force is largely ineffective against such a sparse and unpredictable enemy. The Prospector Guild, the Science Academy, and VinderCorp (the largest of the galactic mining corporations) are also targets of these brutal attacks.
Perhaps a one-person, highly mobile prospector with the right technology and talents can finally uncover the true purpose of the Scavenger unification.
