SLORDAX: The Unknown Enemy
by John Carmack
Version 1.0
Legends tell of a race of superbeings who once tried to conquer the galaxy.
Their cruelty was untold, and there was great suffering. They were called
the Slordax, and laid waste to galaxy upon galaxy. The war lasted for a
century.
In the end, the Slordax were repelled. Now there is a stirring in the
Slordian system, a system dead for over seven hundred years. Are the
Slordax returning? The I.D.A. wants to know.
Charged with the task of keeping galactic peace, the Intergalactic Defense
Alliance has decided on a first strike--take them out before they grow too
strong to defeat. You have been given the fastest, deadliest ship in the
galaxy, a RedDog Adaptive Strike Ship. Given an elaborate artificial
intelligence, it can use just about anything you fly near as an energy
source or weapon. On the instant of imminent explosion, the ship will
transport the pilot to a backup ship. There are a limited number of ships,
and in the words of the director of the I.D.A., "You lose these ships and
we're taking it out of your [CENSORED]."
THE PLAN OF ATTACK
Phase One
Fly in through the asteroid belt to avoid detection from Slordia. It will
be very dangerous, and watch out for automatic defense systems.
Phase Two
Pierce the defense screens and skim the planet's surface to avoid further
detection. Their defenses will be alerted, so be careful. You must find
the entrance to the old Fleet construction tunnels.
Phase Three
Fly through the fleet tunnels, avoiding the automatic defense systems,
patrol drones, energy fields, and giant machinery. Find your way to the
realm of the Slordax--a sort of hazy bubble in the time-space continuum.
Phase Four
Fly though the realm of the Slordax, whatever is there, and find out if the
titanic Slordian Master has returned.
Phase Five
Make your way home through dangerous interdimensional warps to recieve your
commendation.
Some aliens will release power up capsules as they die:

Shot power
Auto fire
