This page is about the game. For the ship class, see Daedalus (ship).
Overview
Daedalus is a 2-D platforming game set in the far future. The game follows the crew of the Daedalus 13 as they attempt to reintegrate the Proserpina settlement with the rest of the inhabited universe following its passageway's destruction during the Sirius Conflict. The narrative follows Rix, a Wormhole Engineer who previously worked for the Sirius Military Consulate.
Plot
After the wormhole between Sirius and Epsilon Eridani collapsed under suspicious circumstances, the Sirius Military Consulate (SMC) coalesced in out of the remnants of the Eridani Trust through a military takeover lasting 7 years known as the Sirius Conflict. During the coup the wormhole to Kapteyn's star was also destroyed. Instead of committing the great resources necessary for a Daedalus flight to bring Kapteyn back into the Eridani cluster, the SMC devoted these resources into their takeover of the Eridani Trust, arguably helping to decisively gain control of the Eridani cluster before the Sirius wormhole to Epsilon Eridani was repaired. This decision was unpopular with many who had business interests or family in the Kapteyn System. Only after consolidating control did the SMC devote resources to reintegrating Kapteyn into the Eridani cluster, leaving them a full 10 years without supplies or contact from any other planets.
Launching from Janus, the capital planet of the Sirius Military Consulate, the Daedalus Transport 13 traveled to the Kapteyn system. Its unusually large crew of 5 included Rix, Ilias and Ayda, James, and Devon. Upon arriving in Kapteyn the computer made for the settlement on Proserpina, but a computer virus disguised as planetary communications was contracted by the ship, preventing the crew from being awoken. James the pilot was taken out of cryo by an emergency failsafe before the rest of the crew. A kinetic minefield erected around the planet, technology invented after the original wormhole had been severed, threatened the barely maneuverable Daedalus and prompted the resuscitation of the rest of the crew. Ilias woke first, and Rix soon followed. James was soon able to make a rickety landing in spite of the planet's defenses, but the negative-matter core became too damaged to be used in expanding the ship's wormhole.
In order to expand the wormhole and reestablish the link to the rest of the galaxy, Rix traveled to the planet's main settlement where she hoped to find the appropriate fuel. Convinced to take a more direct route using the planet's interior, she arrived at the capitol. Since the most likely source of fuel would be powering the city, she navigated to one of the settlement's power plants.
