You command the military forces of both the Malus and the Alyssians – two radically different races with fundamentally different cultures and motives. O.R.B., the acronym for Off-World Resource Base, is a real-time strategy game that involves the desperate struggle between the forces of two planets for control of the Aldus solar system. Both races will soon discover they are not alone… However, in an age of scientific progress, those who excel in the military sciences are esteemed above all. The Alyssians are an independent, self-sufficient and fatalistic race, who forsook their individualism for the greater good.
They have come to see themselves as the rightful rulers of the cosmos.
Scarce water, extremely high temperatures, and a volatile climate forged a stout and rigidly disciplined culture based on strength and triumph over adversity. The Malus are a product of their planet’s harsh environment.
