Story

The story takes place in the year 2704, when ASFAR (Alliance of Space-Faring Alien Races), of which Earth is a member, suddenly turns against Earth and its fleet devastates the planet and starts a war. The player flies a powerful starfighter, the TV-202, in a series of missions to defeat the enemy. In Episode 3, the player learns that a giant supercomputer called X.I. (Xenocidic Initiative), located on Proxima Seven, is responsible for the war. Your final mission is to eliminate it. Only in the CD-ROM version, a hidden mission can take place after the main storyline, in which the player must investigate a sudden metamorphosis of an unknown nearby planet and destroy the force that changed the planet's face. Here it is revealed that this force has driven a man named Sy Wickens insane and how the X.I. supercomputer has "accidentally" digitized Sy Wickens' personality.
