On the morning of Friday the 13th of April 2001, all new EV Star Squadron recruits will be transported to another world, another galaxy, another universe!

As you climb aboard our Ballistic Ultra Spaceflight (B.U.S.) craft, you will know that the fate of your species may well rest on your shoulders. Your planet is dying and is now barely able to sustain life.

The only hope for the global community is an enormous space station, nearing completion in a nearby sector of space.

When the B.U.S. launches you into outer space your mission is to deliver the final consignment of Fuel Rods to the space station. But all does not go as planned. In a freak occurrence, a worm hole opens up directly in your course and you are unable to avoid it.

You are sent hurtling through space to an unknown quadrant of a far away solar system. When you finally regain control of your ship you find it is severely damaged and you could not possibly get home without extensive repairs.

Fortunately you locate a nearby Hyper-galactic Trading Post: a small cluster of space stations (lunch stops) and planets (evening camp) where almost anything can be obtained - for a price.

Your mission now is to travel between the space stations and planets and participate in the many challenges set before you along the way. By doing this you will earn 'Imperial Credits'. At each planet there will be a Space Converters were you will need to buy parts for your space ship. The are 3 parts to collect per day, weapons, shields and compulsion drives to aid in your survival and return home from this mysterious quadrant.

Good luck, you'll need it.

Oh, and Space Converters are immune to Jedi mind tricks. Sorry!
