Screamers is set in the year 2078 on the planet Sirius 6B, a once thriving commercial hub and mining colony now reduced to a wasteland by a prolonged war between the colony's miners, called the Alliance, and their former employers, the New Economic Block. Five years into the war, Alliance scientists created a revolutionary weapon system called the 'Autonomous Mobile Sword', a semi-artificial intelligent, subterranean, self-replicating, machine. Due to the high-pitched squeal emitted by the machines when they attack, the Alliance nicknamed their creations, 'Screamers'. Since screamers are not designed to identify friend from foe, Alliance scientists also developed a wrist-worn device called a 'Tab', which renders its wearer 'invisible' by broadcasting the wearer's heartbeat and pulse out of rhythm.
