BattleIn the dead starlight, the planet looks like a bizarre artefact whose many sharp facets glimmer mysteriously. A thin, gleaming spiral curls around the planet, changing direction from time to time. If you look closely, you can see that the spiral is composed of many minuscule dots — enemy bombers.
BattleVigdis addresses you with reserve, almost coldly: "Lord Captain, the flagship is at the calculated arrival point. No unexpected incidents have been detected during the translation. Full battle readiness has been confirmed. The senior officers are listening and awaiting your orders."

YOU"Destroy the xenos commander and seize the key to our glorious victory!"
BattleThe response to the order was the rumble of many excited voices on the vox-channel. The transmission ends, and your fighter armada, obeying the orders of the commanders, assumes battle formation.

YOU"Destroy as many of the petty creatures as you can. They must not be allowed to overwhelm us with their numbers!"
