Yet again Terra a in deadly peril as diplomatic relations with the Hsiffies Khanate disintegrate into tatters. The Hsiffies - nasty yellow, buck-toothed, slimy aliens, who cheat at poker, mistreat their mothers and Jump red lights - are hell-bent on destroying the Terran empire. To combat this insidous alien threat, DAMOCLES has been reformed. As a member of that elite squadron, your mission is to obliterate as much of the Hsiffan attack fleet as possible.

You are advised to enhance your ships abilities to improve your chances against the Hsiffan threat. Most of the attacking formations yield a credit if they are completely destroyed, and, depending on how many credits have been earned, extra weaponry can be bolted onto the ship.

This Armament may be acquired in the weapon collection screens, which are a group of icons that frequently cross your path between alien attacks. Each icon has its price, and the extras you can afford are highlighted in red, while items out of your price range are in grey. Just fly over the desired icon, and within seconds more death power is at your disposal.
