The Mission

In 1866, America began to recover from a bloody Civil War and the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. As a campaign policy to increase his popularity, President Andrew Johnson attempts to purchase the vast territory of Alaska from the Russian Emperor, despite his troubles with Congress.

An expedition is assembled to survey and explore this region with help from the Interior Department. President Johnson commissions an unsuspecting pawn, Field Director, Jack Calsin to head the expedition. Jack must travel the Oregon Trail and set sail aboard the naval frigate USS Hercules escorted by the Governor Clinton. The events that follow become a life and death struggle to complete our hero’s mission, if he can.
