Barren Planet Expansion: Waterworld

The ocean planet Dalen occupies the same star system as Dapra, where there has been much strife as mining companies vied with one another to exploit Dapra's resources. But Dalen is very different from Dapra. Dapra is mostly desert, with some ice caps and a tiny amount of liquid water melted by volcanic activity just under the surface. Dalen, on the other hand, is mostly covered by water, with a few islands poking up through the surface, and small ice sheets at the poles.

Dalen's resources are deep underwater, which has shielded it from the attention of the mining corporations who have been fighting over Dapra. But now, with Dapra's fate settled, Dalen has become the focus of interest. The two corporations have invested in naval forces and Mining Boats that can extract resources from the bottom of the sea, and these are headed to Dalen.

You will work as military strategist for one of these corporations. Nuvutech is an old company mired in bureaucracy. Avuscorp is a newer and more unscrupulous corporation. Both are equally matched in their financial power, and their ability to raise a private military to further their interests.

Waterworld is an expansion to the game Barren Planet. It comes in the form of a new campaign, featuring new units and different terrain from the game's original campaign First Landing. It is recommended that you play through First Landing first, or at least play through the tutorial in the Barren Planet manual, if you have never played the game before. This will help familiarise you with the game's mechanics and controls.
