Nexus: The Jupiter Incident

Updated to v1.03

In Nexus: The Jupiter Incident, players command a fleet of up to a dozen customizable capital ships in real-time tactical combat across a 22nd-century solar system. Missions involve espionage, direct engagement, and stealth operations against both human factions and alien threats. Ship systems can be managed individually, allowing precise control over weapons, shields, and subsystems during encounters. The narrative centers on preventing a catastrophic event threatening Earth, unfolding through story-driven campaign objectives. Environmental hazards such as nebulas, asteroid fields, and gravitational anomalies affect movement and visibility. Success depends on fleet positioning, targeting priorities, and adaptive tactics rather than reflexes alone.

About this game

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident Overview

At the dawn of the 22nd century the conquest of space and the colonization of the solar system has been taken over by several huge and ambitious megacorporations. Although extremely delicate and vulnerable, a balance is maintained by these companies. It has now been 60 years since the terrible catastrophe that befell Noah’s Ark, the first colony ship of mankind.
On the very edge of the solar system the companies make a discovery which will shift the technological advantage and upset the balance. And so a new conflict is born: “The Jupiter Incident”. You are Marcus Cromwell, a young but already famous captain. With your legendary spaceship Stiletto you find yourself in the middle of the conflict.
Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is one of the few examples of a TFS: a Tactical Fleet Simulator. The strong, elaborate story takes you from mission to mission and allows different approaches. It’s up to you which tactics you choose to bring each mission to a successful conclusion, although you can lose a battle and still go on to keep fighting in the war. A reward system enables you to repair, upgrade and enhance your ships depending on the approach you chose. Mission briefings let you roam through an unbelievably accurate 3D animated star map system.
