In the year 117 AE (After Earth), a storm rages across the surface of Mars, a planet now colonized by humans driven from their home planet. Although terraforming is well under way, the alignment of the Martian northern winter solstice with the planet's closest approach to the Sun still triggers global dust storms sometimes lasting up to several weeks. During an exceptionally violent storm dubbed "The Red Solstice", the human colonies of Mars lost all contact with Tharsis, the colony referred to as "The Capital". Soldiers in service of the Elysium Corporation, elite marine troops, were sent to find out what happened to the colony.
