The final exams have brought you and your fellow planetary scouting cadets to an uninhabited planet with a toxic atmosphere that you've been tasked with analyzing remotely. You'll unlock new skills throughout the game as you build your proficiency with the available reconnaissance equipment - rovers, drones, hovercraft, and buggies. If you are having issues with the equipment, you can also utilize the state of the art SCOUT canine companion droids in a pinch! Claim the most strategic sections of the map and score points for charting the alien terrain to become top of your class! Use the unique number generator system to select which spots to claim on the map as you explore Kharsibecc. But watch out for what your fellow students are up to because the planet surface is limited and you're each vying for similar objectives.
