Mars 2142…It has been 60 years since the colonization and thousands of factories and mines have sprung up across the landscape of the inhospitable Red Planet. In the past decade, industries prospered leading to vast settlements of over half a million inhabitants. Crime runs rampant, as work has become scarce and the citizens are in desperate need of diversion.

Speed Forge, heavy duty hover vehicles, normally used for mining, are now seen in illegal races organized in abandoned factories and dark Marsian alleys. The rock crushing explosives once used in these machines now serve a very different purpose.
