TITAN: XCIX TITAN: XCIX is a singleplayer adventure mod focused more on exploration rather than combat, that takes place aboard the ill-fated star ship of the same name. You play as a newly arrived technician who arrives moments before disaster strikes.

Overview

Humanity is at the point of extinction when a terrible accident destroys the majority of life on Earth during what is now known as The First Contact Event. Although official contact had been set with very strict quarantine rules, unsanctioned contact between the Human populace and Vaedran Trade ships meant that diseases that originated from Vaedra were easily passed to the people of Earth, causing a catastrophic chain of events.

The people of Vaedra (a long lost offshoot of Humanity), racked by guilt gathers up what's left of Human civilization and over the space of many years, slowly integrates them into their own society to give them a better life away from the wastes of Earth.

But life is far from better, hospitality soon turns to indifference and intolerance, eventually pushing Humans to the outskirts of their new home. Their only choice is to work in the jobs nobody else wants, where they can be secluded from the masses. Deep space mining and working among the Vaedran shipping lanes between the colonies forms the basis of the United Human Remnant (UHR), a group that gives homes to Humans and Vaedrans alike, among the stars.

Among these "homes" is Titan: XCIX, a previously decommissioned trade ship donated to the UHR for the purpose of allowing Humanity to sustain its own trade routes. Work aboard Titan is slow, cramped and often dangerous, but the allowed independence more than makes up for the conditions aboard the ship.

But even on the fringe of space, bad blood boils...
