In 1997, a RTS game known as "Dark Colony" published by S.S.I. and was released for the PC. Likewise an expansion called "Dark Colony: The Council Wars" came out the following year.
In the 22nd Century humans have discovered a "remarkable energy source" by the name of Petra-7 on the Mars and start colonizing the planet. Figuring they'd rather not choke on the atmosphere of Mars whilst mining Petra-7, the Humans begin terraforming the planet. Eventually habitable jungles and deserts have sprung up as a result allowing humans to make a home here sponsored by the mega-corporations Pan Luma Industries, Aerogen, and Stratus who. For a while they can access Petra-7, but "Greys" aka the Taar show up. The Taar are aliens from a scattered and dying race looking for a new homeworld, and Mars seems to be good fit. Before they can move in though, they seek to get rid of the humans.
Players can either play the humans who are defending Mars or the Taar trying to get rid of the human presence.
