Pumo Mines is a project made by Pumo (and friends) to develop a custom Mission/Mod made for the Descent 2 videogame (exclusively for the D2X-XL port). Note it's still a work in progress.
(For more info about the Descent game series, follow this link to Wikipedia: Descent (video game) )
The aim of the project is to offer a high-quality singleplayer campaign with high-resolution graphics, sounds, original high-quality music, custom robots, weapons and much more, with a brand new story that will develop on a new universe with new characters, situations and places.
The mission will be divided in chapters/episodes. Keep scrolling to find complete information about the mission and each of its episodes.

who suddenly disappeared in a misteryous incident on the Cybernetic Menaces Research Lab, and who was about to discover a way to destroy the computer virus that brought PMC (Pumin Mining Corporation) Facilities into total disaster.
As the virus is spreading fast throughout all PMC facilities, and the PMC is being accused of alien murder for the happenings at Uranus incident by the External Communications Union (ECU),
a misteryous attorney known as Kartsal from the ECU is trying to prove PMC's innocence by helping both the corporation and MD Vertex9 to fullfill his mission.
But who is this Kartsal? where did he come from? why he is so interested on proving PMC's innocence?..."
