In a ruined and terraformed world where most of humanity is under the yoke of a brutal regime, the former workers of a once-remote factory – now known as The Collective – have risen up to create a future of freedom from oppression. You are an Ace – a highly skilled pilot referred from a Division in The Collective and assigned a humanoid combat vehicle known as a Frame. You and your Strike Team of fellow Aces must take on The Collective’s greatest threats, ensure its survival, and carve a path for its continued success.
