### Federacy Campaign

Six months following his successful graduation from the Blooding, Commander Ethan tardily returns to the Federal Dome to find it under siege from the Raak\-Zun, whom breached through the tunnel system. Fighting off the invaders to the tunnel base, Ethan discovers the presence of both an unknown alien material as well as Raak\-Zun mutants whom have overrun the tunnel base. Ethan learns that the science expedition responsible was mostly eliminated, but he discovers tracks leading to the surface within the wasteland, leading him to believe that the lead scientist, Lex, and her team have escaped the Raak\-Zun onslaught. Despite orders from his commanding General to return to base and not intervene (as Federal High Command had decided to take the matter personally), Ethan goes rogue and conducts a rescue of Lex and her team, only for the General to arrive and arrest Ethan, being later revealed the arrest was to prevent his summary execution for disobeying orders. However, on their way home, the Federal Dome is attacked once again. Ethan marshalls his forces to push away the Raak\-Zun again, only to discover a deactivated intergalactic portal that was being researched by Lex and her team.

Under orders from the General, Ethan and his company cross the portal to end up in a lush jungle world, in which the Federals name it "Elysium", but are shortly attacked afterwards by a force of extraterrestrial machines that Lex name "Sentinels". Ethan, Lex, the General and the Chief Engineer whom had been aiding Ethan all traverse the portal, but are forced to abandon it as it explodes from being destabilized beyond repair. Ten days after settling themselves in Elysium, Ethan picks up a distress call only to discover the Raak\-Zun have also mysteriously managed to arrive to the new planet. Discovering a second portal from the salvaged Raak\-Zun logs, the Federal forces fiercely engage the Sentinels and destroy their Mainframe to shut them down, but as they fly to the second portal they are intercepted by airborne Raak\-Zun cyborgs whom shoot down most of the airforce, capturing Lex in the process. In a final confrontation that even involves the Federal forces using nuclear warheads to push through heavy defenses, Ethan and the General back the Raak\-Zun tribal leader, Slavemaster Sauk, into a corner, using Lex into a hostage situation. The General proposes to let Sauk leave to Earth and his people in exchange for Lex, in which Sauk agrees and the General keeps his end of the bargain. The Federals start establishing themselves into Elysium, but still all aware that the conflict is all but over.
