Monstrous overpopulation of Earth has forced its government to undertake drastic measures. Since there was no chance for voluntary migrations to distant colonies (life out there was primitive compared to Earth), a new, restrictive law was established to force people off the planet. You could get a life sentence outside of the solar systems even for speeding!

Prisoners were transported in very peculiar ships that usually consisted of one small steering unit and dozen or so huge biospheres. The latter were like whole autonomous lands, each one with their own ground, atmosphere and even artificial sun. A piece of Earth in a box! This way a biosphere could be dropped on virtually any planet and provide a home for the settlers until they manage to bring the new environment under control.

Maximus XV carrying biospheres

Maximus XV was one of these transport ships. Prisoners, locked inside biospheres, had no idea of where they are going to end up. They were given few basic, even primitive tools that could be of use when colonizing a new land. No one suspected that they'd rather need weapons...

The ship was on its course and it was supposed to be a peaceful flight. Pilots surely did not expect to find the most dangerous predator of space on their way. Black Nebula - a gravitational entity that sucks in everything within its range, quickly swallowed Maximus XV.

People were not the only race that was captured. Ships loaded with creatures of unknown species have been trapped here for years and they have learned how to survive by feeding on newcomers. They quickly attacked Maximus XV, taking over one biosphere after another. People, shocked, rarely put up any resistance and the invaders were merciless.

The last biosphere was different. With impromptu weapons prisoners managed to fight off the attack, but they were still under siege, surrounded by countless enemies. Now, the only way to get out of this alive is to get to the emergency capsule and use their powerful engines to break free from the trap. But the road leads through all the biospheres, now colonized by alien creatures. Only one person can do that. Best of the best - Space Hack.
