In the world of MMOs, Anarchy Online is a surprisingly rare animal. While others have gone the way of dragons, elves, swords and sorcery, Funcom took the sci-fi route, putting us on the planet of Rubi-ka, 30,000 into the future, with OmniCorp waging war against the little guy over its abuse of the planet.

So naturally, science fiction has to have alien races, right? Not just alien creatures roaming around the desert, oh no. We're talking about full-on Independence Day-level invasions, and that's exactly what Funcom has in mind. Huge motherships dropping fleets of fighters and troop carriers on your player-built cities.
