Humans

Humans are one of two warring antagonists in Dark Colony, representing an United Earth.

Overview
The year is 2137, and the colonization of Mars is not going smoothly The discovery on Mars of "Petra-7", a universal energy source, led to the belief that the terra-forming of this planet was a viable solution to easing Earth's population crisis. Mankind's most ambitious project has spanned more than a Century and has turned a sleeping planet into a thriving world, complete with lush jungles and colorful deserts. Now it was time to move in.

The major undertaking of colonization was split up among a handful of Earth's largest corporations all of which preached co-operation. The initial bases, mainly setup as mining outposts, began to experience strange equipment malfunctions and accidents which severely tested the human alliances. Amidst the increasing confusion, mankind's leaders admitted to what had been suspected for centuries, that we were not alone, and worse yet, that our alien guests had plans for us. In Earth's darkest hour, the war to save humanity was about to begin...

Organization
On Mars, the lines between corporation and government are blurred. Although it's corporations that manage the colonization affairs planetside and wage war, they are provided with military-grade equipment and all of their employees - security troops in official parlance - are trained at the military academy at Area 51 in Nevada. There are three major corporations working Mars-side:


 * Pan Luma Industries (color-coded red)
 * Aerogen Corporation (color-coded teal)
 * Stratus Corporation (color-coded blue)

The corporations compete with each other for mining rights, but in the face of the alien threat, they are more than willing to exchange profits for military intervention, as was the case with the deal struck between Pan Luma and Aerogen at New Vladivostok.
