The Stort Thus Far...
Ancient Kilrathi prophets foretold the utter destruction of all life in the universe.
That time is at hand.
A new alien menace has entered Confed space, and the only line of defense between
it and the end of all things is the crew of the TCS Midway. Continually on the
run from the alien forces and cut off from any contact with Confed HQ, the Midway
has fought a delaying action across several systems.
Now, having sent a desperate call for help across the stars via a recaptured relay
station in the H'hrass System, the Midway awaits much needed supplies before pushing
onward into T'lan Meth on its first offensive.
You are Lieutenant Lance Casey, recent Academy graduate and member of the fighting
force that will be the galaxy's last hope.
Your job: secure the system before the Midway moves on, protect the transports
and their vital cargo, and stop an enemy carrier that is even now in aggressive
pursuit…
Good Luck! |
