Mech Assault: Phantom War challenges you to defend a future republic with incredible new weapons of war. The year is 3134 and after 60 years of peace and prosperity, the Republic of the Sphere is in a dark age of excommunication. Nearly all Hyperpulse Generators (HPGs), the pinnacles of interstellar communication, have been struck by a virus -- leaving worlds cut off from all information. No one in the Republic knows when, or where, the next attack could be coming from. Their only hope is to turn the HPG into an instrument of war.
