It's just another endless day in the galactic frontier, going head to head
with the never-ending onslaught of enemy raiders.  You could swear that for
every ship you blast in to smithereens, the next one you encounter is moving
faster and shooting quicker...

There's only one way this is going to end, but you grit your teeth and and
slam the throttle forward as you blast your way in to glory and oblivion!
