What happens in Solar Attack from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
When a Solar and Near Earth Laboratory (SNEL) solar probe is deployed to gather data, a massive CME erupts, obliterating the probe and taking down the crewed spacecraft Galileo. The disaster is quickly blamed on defective Russian equipment, a spark that sets off a broader chain of crises as CMEs shove satellites out of their orbits and transform them into dangerous flying debris. One such flare even reaches New Zealand, reducing the country to a vast, molten landscape.
