Story
As the might of the alien Arcadian Empire tightens its hold on our galaxy, the leaders of the secret Earth organization, SAROS, gather their slender resources into one last daring and foolhardy mission to strike at the heart of the invaders' home planet.
YOU are their last hope. Trained in all the martial arts, equipped with a forbidden laser sword, your mission is to seek out all the underground resistance and piece together the vital code you need to destroy the enemy. But time is running out and only YOU stand in the way of the Arcadians' complete domination of the galaxy! |
Rebel Planet is a
science fiction adventure set in the year 2453. In this fictional representation of the future, human
colonisation of the galaxy began in 2070 with the settlement of Tropos a few
light-years from Earth. Earth and her colonies were conquered by an
alien race known as the Arcadians in a twelve year war around 2300. Humans have become slaves, and are kept alive only to serve their alien masters. However a human organization known as SAROS ("Search And Research Of Space") has discovered that the Arcadians rely on a powerful super-computer to keep themselves networked together. Without this computer, they're merely zombies, incapable of acting on their own. SAROS has limited resources, but a secret plot is hatched to infiltrate Arcadion and destroy the queen computer. The reader plays the role of the last hope of humanity, an undercover agent posing as a space merchant.
Other media
The book was loosely adapted into an
Adventure Soft text adventure game for the
ZX Spectrum,
