- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- Late in the 21st century, human beings discovered the JumpStar just
- beyond their own solar system. By flying a ship into it, a pilot could
- traverse astronomical distances in seconds, visiting remote areas of our
- galaxy never before realized. At last the terrans could travel outside
- the Sol system, make contact with other advanced alien races, and enter a
- new age of scientific discovery.
-
- Humans, however, were not the only species to take notice of the
- JumpStar. Several devious alien worlds had begun sending hostile ships
- through their own JumpStars into the Sol system, attempting to cut off
- all terran access to the rest of the galaxy, bottling the humans inside
- their own system. Many terran ships were lost in the battles which
- followed, and the enemies of Sol began to gain the upper hand. Terran
- ships were being destroyed almost as fast as they could be built, and it
- looked like the humans might never be able to recover. Rumors spread
- that several of the alien species blockading the JumpStar were beginning
- to team up to conquer earth, to strip the planet and split its valuable
- resources between them. The terran scientists back on earth had devised
- a means to seal the JumpStar permanently, but they considered it only a
- last resort to keep the intruders out of their system.
-
- This desperate situation called for a desperate measure. The humans sent
- all of their remaining ships to the JumpStar in a do or die attempt to
- permanently oust the invaders from the Sol system. The fierce space
- battle resulted in high casualties for both sides, so much that every
- human ship was destroyed save one, but the humans were victorious. Since
- the intruders will soon be sending along additional reinforcements which
- could easily overpower the last of the terran fleet, there is only one
- option left. That last terran ship must fly through the JumpStar to the
- attacking worlds and seal the alien JumpStars from the other side,
- preventing the invaders from ever threatening earth again. You are the
- pilot of that last ship, brave of heart, quick of reflexes, and heroic by
- nature. Tighten your harness and prepare for battle as you fly into the
- heart of the JumpStar. The fate of the human race is in your hands! Are
- you ready for the challenge?
