On a lonely ship, floating somewhere in space, sleeps a frozen POWERNAUT. The ships sensors detect a faint radio signal coming from an old Imperial outpost, on small planet called Erasure. Galactic law considers unregistered radio signals to be potential criminal activity. A course is set, and the Powernaut is thawed. But, something goes wrong, and the ship crashes to the Planet's surface. The ship is destroyed and the Powernaut is killed, but their cloning device survives. Newly reborn, the Powernaut continues the mission, fighting their way across the planet and slowly discovering the disast(Storyline via IGDB)
