science fiction adventure set in the year 2453. In this fictional representation of the future, humancolonisation of the galaxy began in 2070 with the settlement of Tropos a fewlight-year s from Earth. Earth and her colonies were conquered by an alien race known as the Arcadians in a twelve year war around 2300. Humans have become slaves, and are kept alive only to serve their alien masters. However a human organization known as SAROS ("Search And Research Of Space") has discovered that the Arcadians rely on a powerful super-computer to keep themselves networked together. Without this computer, they are merely zombies, incapable of acting on their own. SAROS has limited resources, but a secret plot is hatched to infiltrate Arcadion and destroy the queen computer.
