Overview
Daedalus is a 2-D platforming game set in the far future. The game follows the story of the DT-13's crew through Alexia, 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 Alexia, Ilias and Masafira, James, and Devon. Upon arriving in Kapteyn they found themselves on a collision course with the gas giant Oceanus, predicted to be in a drastically different orbital location.
