1.Game overview.
Third millennium became the colonization age of the Galaxy spaces. The
whole five centuries were called the Golden Age as these were peaceful and prosperous times for the mankind. But one day peaceful spaceships
started missing disappearing in the immense outer space without leaving a
trace. For a long time the reasons of the disappearances couldn't be
detected. People started outfitting special reconnaissance spaceships for finding out the reasons of these strange
disappearances. Finally, at the cost of many people's lives, they managed to find out
priceless information. The missing spaceships underwent the attacks of aliens coming from a different Galaxy. Hostile spaceships use special
kind of radioactive emanation when attacking; under its influence fuel in the fuel tanks instantly explodes and destroys the whole
spacecraft.
Aliens permeate into our Galaxy using the Darkness Gate. But this is not its sole destination. The Darkness Gate can regenerate the
destroyed hostile spaceships. It needs an enormous quantum of energy. The Darkness Gate receives stellar energy with
the help of special solar batteries. Without them the Darkness Gate cannot
operate. After deactivating the last solar battery which supplies the Darkness Gate with energy, it can no longer regenerate
hostile spacecrafts. But the spaceships that have already been created and
are located inside the Darkness Gate, can be of great danger. The secret of the Darkness Gate creation is only perceived by the Evil
Emperor. Thus and so, for rescuing the humanity you need to deprive all
existing Darkness Gates of their energy sources, destroy all alien spaceships and (above all) the Evil
Emperor. For the purpose of that the leading scientists created a spacecraft
able to resist the harmful emanation at middle and far distances. But at very short distances it proved impossible to resist the
emanation. Besides a special weapon was created, named Great Power, converting
the deadly weapon against the aliens themselves. But it turned out to be extremely expensive and its effect - not very long-lasting, so
you'll have to rely on traditional weapons mostly. You are to aviate this very spacecraft and rescue the mankind of the
greatest threat it has ever witnessed.
