Armada and Terrafirma(games)

The mentioned games, Armada and Terrafirma are the two MMO (massive multiplayer online) alien battle simulator games designed by videogame company Chaos Terrain (who created them for the Earth Defense Alliance's command) The games' story is about a giant invasion led by the Sobrukai, an alien species who are an anthropomorphic and octopus-like race from another planet outside the Solar System. In the game the players (a.k.a. the soldiers of EDA) must protect Planet Earth by driving different kinds of spaceships, drones and mecha robots in order to shoot down the Sobrukai alien ships and war machines.

The Armada and Terrafirma games can be played on a single computer or in VR glasses.

In chronologic order, Terrafirma was the first simulator made by Chaos Terrain, it was about controlling robots on the ground (Terrafirma’s different levels feature existing towns and cities, for example Newark, in a dystopian design, while Armada features the deep space and the Solar System's planets) One year after the first game's publishing, Chaos Terrain made Armada, the second game.

In both games, before the players can start a mission, the Admiral, Admiral Vance appears and tells the backstory and the description of the current mission.
