The main events of the second part of the game unfold 200 years after the end of the Klissan War - in 3300. Humankind is maintaining relations with four other developed civilizations of our Galaxy: the Maloqs, the Pelengs, the Faeyans, and the Gaalians.
This time a new and an even more dangerous force is threatening the Galaxy. A new extremely hazardous cyber-life form appears on one of the planets that used to be under the Klissan control - powerful combat robots, who are not only capable of carrying out orders given to them, but who also have an intellect of their own. Possessed by their own programs, the battle machines come into space spreading fear and terror across the inhabited worlds.
Thanks to the humans these robots became known as the Dominators. The civilized world is forced to withstand the oppression of three Dominator types: the Blazeroids, The Kelleroids, and the Terronoids. These three branches of machine evolution are at war with each other, which is only to the advantage of the Coalition Forces.
The concept of the freedom of choice, which was a characteristic feature of the first release, was not only kept in Space Rangers 2 - it has even been taken much further.
The game does not limit you with certain scenario frames, but rather gives you a possibility to influence its course. With that - the game world (that has become much bigger compared to the first game) is living and developing according to its own laws, with something constantly happening in it: systems are being conquered and liberated, pirates are looting civil ships, governments are being overthrown on different planets, and scientists are making new discovering.
In "Space Rangers 2" you will also have a possibility to prove his superiority not only in the space, but on the planets as well. Planetary battles are a 3-D real-time strategy. Using the firepower of the combat robots, the player will have to stand up to the Dominators - the intelligent war machines that know no mercy.
