In the year 1999, strange UFO's were spotted in the sky. After some investigation from the numerous world governments, it was found that the people of Earth was indeed under some kind of attack from outside the planet. To react to the problem and prevent the loss of human life, a special project code named "X-Com" was created and funded by all the major governments of Earth. This is where X-Com first appear in Earth history.
Eventually, X-Com commanders succeed in containing and fighting the Aliens, and end up striking deep in Alien territory on Mars: Cydonia. The X-com kamikaze attack succeed, and Earth is saved. Being an organization funded exclusively by the numerous governments of Earth, they get disbanded rather quickly as normal Earth relations return between each governments. Receiving no funds anymore, they have no other chance to to comply.
In the years 20XX (sorry, I don't remember the date by hearth), a new threat emerge but this time from the depth of the oceans. Same story short: after an investigation the real threat is found and catalogued, and the code named project "X-Com" reinstated to provide as first line of defense for the whole planet. After a long fight and huge research projects spent in creating submarines and armor able to wisthand the pressure of the deep oceans, the X-com organization finnaly launch an attack on Atlantis, the main base of operation of the Aquarians. Same story short again, they succeed, lose funding and get disbanded.
Much, much later in the future, Earth is a very poluted wasteland. All minor cities are practically eradicated from the surface of the Earth, and the only thriving city is Megapolis - the city you play in. Because of the incredible breakthrus of the first two initial wars, Earth managed to explore space and colonize other planets, mostly for mining purpose. It is then that some strange portals appear above Megapolis, and some strange, long time forgotten Aliens pop out from nowhere again to attack the few remaining human population. Searching in the archives of history, the Government of Megapolis recreate an obscure project code named "X-Com" to fight and save the only hope left for Earth, which is this city.
I won't tell you how it end tough. :P
