In 2006 Microsoft released a modified version of the source code along with most game assets (i.e. everything needed to compile the game without networking support and without all the art) under a Shared Source licence in order to demonstrate its XNA Build system.
The single-player takes place on Carver V, a planet previously held by House Liao, but at the time of the storyline's start House Steiner and House Davion have also claimed a few territories, killing Mandarin Cho, Liao ruler of the planet in combat.
