![]() ![]() ![]() The Rebels can't hope to directly match Maas's forces, so they fall back and try to think of alternative strategies. ![]() The Rebel Fleet, now very large and well-organized, mounts a successful assault-only to be nearly destroyed anyway when the Marauders receive help from the Maas Corporation, who started the Marauders to "keep you peasants in line." However even that loss didn't slow them down, and further investigation on Cal's part reveals that they have been maintaining their primary base in the Dante system, long abandoned and thought uninhabitable after the unstable binary star flooded the system with radiation and cut it off from outside travel. Most are only too happy to lend ships, supplies, and personnel once their own Marauder problems are taken care of, and the Marauders are successfully driven from Hoffer's Wake before long. The player is soon given access to other systems in the Cluster, with the assignment to find help fighting the Marauders in Hoffer's Wake. Despite numerous attempts to run them down, the Badlands government and gangs have had no luck in stopping the attacks: the Marauders don't seem weakened even by major losses, and they don't seem to have any single base of operations. For a long time, a group called the Marauders have been attacking at random-essentially terrorizing the people of the Cluster. Other groups in Hoffer's Wake begin to notice his work, and as he advances in fame and fortune he learns more about the current situation affecting the Badlands. Upon returning to his grandmother's base, Cal begins to set up his own piracy organization. The story then fast-forwards 15 years showing a now-adult Cal Johnston with some of his fellow inmates escaping the prison space station, where the core gameplay begins. Trying to avenge his father, Cal ends up in prison instead. After some more practice missions, Cal encounters the infamous Caleb Maas. After getting used to basics of space flight, Clay guides Cal to the base of his space pirating grandmother. The player then assumes the role of young Cal as he is instructed in space ship piloting by the digitized personality of Commonwealth Navy captain Jefferson Clay, a character familiar from the original I-War. The game begins with a CGI video showing the murder of 12-year-old Cal Johnston's father by industrial heir Caleb Maas. As a result, huge corporations step in to take control, and they rule quite tyrannically. The star cluster is far removed from Earth, the Core Systems, and their central governing body, the New Alliance also, the Alliance government was in a state of near-collapse due to corruption and massive overspending. Edge of Chaos is set in the 24th century, 100 years after the first game, in an isolated part of space called the Badlands Cluster. ![]()
