About This Game

Launch your heavily armed Star-Fighter into devastating battles across the galaxy in an intense on-the-rails space shooter.  Take the role of a skilled fighter pilot assigned to the Space Battleship 'Alastrius', the only capital ship still fighting for the Republic following a sudden coup d'état.  Your mission is simple; blast a path through numerous enemy strongholds, liberate the capital world and restore the Republic.  However the enemy forces are vast and they will throw every advanced weapon they have in your path.

    

  
The Alastrius carries a diverse range of playable Star-Fighters from nimble, lightly armed ships to hulking goliaths.  When a Star-Fighter is lost in combat its gone for the rest of the campaign so choose your fighters wisely.  The game begins with three different Starfighters with a further seven that can be unlocked.

Each Star-Fighter is equipped with multiple Laser Cannons able to shred through enemies, even at long range.  If more firepower is needed powerful homing Missiles can make short work of even the toughest targets and if that's not enough the Star-Fighters arsenal of Bombs can devastate everything in a vast area.

From lush green forests to vast deserts, explore bottomless icy glaciers and broken volcanic mining worlds.  Plot a course through 16 different planets, space stations nebula and other hazardous locations as you guide the Battleship Alastrius back to its home world.  With numerous different missions, storyline developments and secret routes it will take many playthroughs to discover everything.

The traitorous Imperium have usurped almost the entire Republic military and will throw hordes of forces at you including drones, fighters, land units, naval forces turrets, mines and traps.  Find their weakpoints to destroy them efficiently.  The more you destroy the higher you score.  Can you earn a Gold Medal in every Mission?

Saving the most insane superweapons to the end of every mission these hulking war machines will test your skills.  Depending on your path a different boss may be laying in wait.

You have been assigned a Dispatch Officer onboard the Alastrius.  'Rahalla' who is fully voice acted will be your loyal companion guiding your Star-Fighter through the campaign missions and sharing developments as the civil war unfolds.
