XF5700 Mantis (or XF5700 Mantis Experimental Fighter, its full name), is a space combat simulator made by MicroPlay Software in 1992. Based on Warhead by Glyn Williams, Mantis takes the plot further by using 90 missions. In what is possibly a rewrite of Williams“s game, the invasion by the Sirian aliens (now dubbed „Sirians“) takes place on March 16, 2094, leaving 3 billion humans dead. Earth was unprepared for the attack due to a recent war in the Middle East (Eurisian War) that took place thus exhasting the resources for defense against aliens. After Earth was devastated, the governments were dissolved in favor of a unified power called the Fist Of Earth. FOE is Earth“s final hope to eliminate the Sirian threat. FOE“s defenses is SolBase and the XF5700 Mantis.
