- (Classified personnel ONLY)
-
- Recent long range scans of the neutral zone indicate lower then usual Veratrine
- activity. Although according to recently signed treaty it is illegal for us and the
- Verterians to enter the neutral zone without each other's approval but there was an
- unspoken agreement allowing limited access of both parties to that economically
- important region of space. Depletion in their trading activities seem to confirm the
- rumours of political rest
- within the empire and creates a unique opportunity for our forces to finally break
- up the empire and restore the balance of power in the galaxy. Central Command has
- already send 2nd and 5th Assault division to outpost 325 as well as 10th marine
- group
- to starbase 754. Olgoron, a 5th planet of the Alpha Centauri system will be used as
- intelligence centre for operations. Nearby Nebula will act as an effective
- camouflage
- and protection against Verterian long range scanners. Since you are one of the most
- promising pilots in the fleet you are being send to Battle cruiser Defiance which
- currently is stationed at the edge of the neutral zone. After arriving at Defiance
- you will serve under command of Admiral George D. Orwell who is distinguished member
- of Starfleet
- command. Remember, the very existence of our civilization depends on this one so we
- have to win it and may the force be with you, always.
-
- During the course of your mission you'll be flying various crafts but they all share
- common controls. Rightmost radar shows what's behind you while leftmost is used for
- tracking objects infront front of you. Here is a summary of keys
-
- S - Causes a distortion is space-time continuum by releasing by releasing large
- amount of energy and effectively places you in a slight different position.
-
- H - Activates hyperdrive and transports you to the next waypoint.
-
- L - Locks onto a target.
-
- M - Show a map and most importantly shows a number of enemy ships in sup space.
- Remember you have to destroy all ships before proceeding to next waypoint.
-
- +/- - Sets the speed of the craft.
-
- ESC - Ejects you from your ship.
-
- The rest of displays are rather self explanatory and they include shield and laser
- display, enemy status (when lock is activated).
