Strike Squadron: Caracará

Strike Squadron: Caracará is a 2D space sim in which you fly missions as a pilot in one of the United Nations’ smallest and least-equipped squadrons. Missions can involve combat, exploration, reconnaissance, precision strikes and infiltration into enemy territory; they are not limited to shooting enemies in set patterns.

A divided Earth

In 2083, the North American spaceship Conquest reaches Europa’s orbit and encounters an alien patrol ship. Humanity has been under the surveillance of the League of Worlds, an association of dozens of sentient alien species, for centuries. The League has hidden the truth, intervened in human history and concealed the reasons for its actions.

After Revelation Day, Earth falls into chaos, and new power blocs emerge without forming a united Earth. In 2145, the United Nations tries to keep these blocs at peace while protecting the solar system from space pirates and smugglers who carry advanced technology capable of destroying the planet if it falls into the wrong hands.

The Southern Alliance, formed by South American and African nations, seeks a place in humanity’s future. Though it is not the strongest or best-equipped power, it has learned to make do with what it has. In a galaxy where humans are treated as second-class citizens, illegal immigrants and cheap labour, the Alliance may be well prepared for what lies ahead.

Missions and relationships

Between missions, you meet your wingmen and learn more about the world you live in. What you say and how you say it shape how they see you and what they choose to tell you. Your choices, successes and failures affect the story.

Humanity is divided, and a faction that was an enemy in one mission may offer artillery support in another.
