From the introduction to the game, we learn that the insect race THARGOID wishes to conquer planets and enslave their inhabitants. As one of the representatives of Earth's civilisation, the player takes on the role of captain of a spaceship equipped with a laser, three missiles and a cargo bay. In order to stop the invaders, your ship must be properly equipped to face them. To do this, the player must fight against enemy ships, for the destruction of which he receives a reward. Another source of income is trade, so you have to land on planets, buy products and resell them profitably on other worlds. During battles, in addition to the laser, you can use rockets, which must first be armed. The laser overheats and requires time to cool down before it starts working again. Opponents use a variety of weapons and if the shield power of the player's ship is exhausted, each successive shot will destroy it and the game will end.
