STORY
 
The year is 2950.  Finally, after years of fighting, the united galactic alliance has negotiated a well-deserved peace.  The long-standing armies have now turned to games to amuse themselves.  One such game is this one.  You have a small ship, equipped with a simple energy cannon.  Enter the nebular arena and face off against others.  You will find powerups to bolster your energy, which will manifest in more effective weaponry.
