dead space pt 8

Dead Space is a science fiction/horror video game series and media franchise created by Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey, developed by Visceral Games and published and owned by Electronic Arts. The franchise centers on a series of video games, and includes two films and several comic books and novels

Dead Space is set in 2508[note 1]. Earth has gone through an extinction-level event, caused by rapacious and unsustainable use of resources. The remaining humans realized that the only way to gain the resources to survive would be to search new planets for resources. That is where the Concordance Extraction Corporation came in. At a time of near-desperation, the CEC engineered the ship that would eventually save all of humanity: The USG Ishimura.

The USG Ishimura was a ship designed for the new resource-gathering practice: planetcracking. The Ishimura's job was to mine the other planets for their most rare and most valuable resources to take them back to Earth. Even though there are subsequent Planetcrackers (A small fleet now existed), the Ishimura remained the iconic symbol of mankind's will to survive, even after all of these decades. Thanks to planetcracking, mankind was now thriving again and resources are plentiful. By the time of the game, the Ishimura performed 34 successful planetcracks and is now in the process of beginning its 35th. However, the events that took place during this planet threatened the very survival of mankind
