The planet of Ghutana hosts the Federation’s most advanced research programs. The desolate world - and its Arachnid colonies - are ideally suited for testing our latest chemical, radiation and biological weapons.
Doctor Kraus, the lead scientist of the R&D department on Ghutana, has demanded military assistance to support his work. Ultimately, he intends to proceed with the “Hercules Program” - his most ambitious project, with the ultimate goal of capturing a very specific Arachnid specimen: the monstrous Hydra.
This DLC features the first story campaign built entirely around Territory Mode mechanics: Capture and hold Territory Points to gain resources, then spend them to unlock technologies, deploy new units, and construct defenses - all while fighting an Arachnid AI that adapts its behavior dynamically based on your decisions and performance.
