FREE THE OIDS!



The Evil Biocretes, rulers of the wealthiest parallel universe in the cosmos, have created a race of android slaves they call "OIDS." The Biocretes treat the gentle, peace-loving OIDS worse than space debris; they abuse them in every way imaginable. While the downtrodden OIDS toil in filthy, dangerous energy factories, the Biocretes live lives of gluttony and greed, savoring the fruits of the OIDS' labor.

The OIDS are allowed to rust, denied of their basic need for oil. Often they are forced to work with one or two limbs completely rusted off. When the OIDS are finally fatigued to the point of collapse, the Biocretes tortuously melt them alive to build new OIDS. "They're just stupid heaps of metal," the Biocretes rationalize. "They have no hearts. We built the OIDS, so we have the right to treat them as we please."

The OIDS may not have hearts, but they do have souls, and no creature, whether biological or mechanical, should be treated the way the Biocretes treat the OIDS.

Being a member of a compassionate race, you have been so moved and angered by the mistreatment of the OIDS, that you've vowed to devote your life to freeing them from the yoke of Biocrete slavery. You've joined the intergalactic organization, "SaveOIDS," and through your courage and passion have quickly risen through the ranks to V-Wing Pilot Commander.

As a V-Wing Pilot, you have four V-Wing fighters at your disposal. Equipped with the latest technology, nuclear photon guns and NovaBombs, you are deployed from an interplanetary range mothership. Your small fleet is ready for action.

Using nuclear photons, you can destroy all but the most hardened Biocrete ground bases, and your NovaBombs can make quick work of those. The V-Wing craft is swift and maneuverable, something you find comforting as you scour the twisting and treacherous passages of the Biocrete planetoids, searching for enslaved OIDS. Of course, whenever you get caught in the grip of a Biocrete gravity base, you often wish that your small ship had a bit more thrust, but you knew the odds when you took the mission.

In their long history, the Biocretes have colonized planetoids in galaxies throughout the universe. The SaveOIDS Central Command has decided that each fleet should concentrate its efforts in a different galaxy. As Lead Commander, you are given first pick from the list of targetted galaxies. If you do well on this mission, your reward will be another, more demanding one. Good luck, Commander, and remember the battle cry:
