The Lore of OUTPOST OMEGA™

Outpost Omega is a research station on a mysterious planet.For decades,scientists on the station have been experimenting with creatures and plants from the local habitat but suddenly,two disasters occur at once.

The wormhole collapses,leaving the station residents trapped in another galaxy. At the same time,the experiments go horrifically wrong and the plants and creatures mutate,turning their newly-acquired,terrifying and lethal power on the humans.

The only chance of salvation is a transport ship: 'Hurley'. It's docked at Shackleton Station,which is in orbit. The crew and residents of Outpost Omega must battle the mutant plants and creatures,whilst attempting to collect a vital asset as part of their desperate bid to make it out alive.
