When the earthlings decided to stop the wars and explore the outer space, another threat is lurking. The Aliants species, who came from outer space to conquer everything and dominate the universe.

The game depicts the story of the savior of mankind, you, and is divided into Arcade and Strategy parts. At the beginning of the game, you must approach the hidden human base 'Valley Forge' and land your cruiser. To achieve this, in arcade mode you must keep the crosshair in the center of the screen, while trying to get out of the center.

After landing you must choose your origin and try yourself in the Simulator, where in arcade mode you must burn specific parts of the enemy ship with the laser gun. Completing the objective in the Simulator, you will take the rank of Admiral and are ready for the main strategy part of the game.

During the strategy, you, sitting in the Starship Lexington, must command your Battle Carriers on the 10x10 rectangular grid map, fight with enemy ships, defend your base and liberate the base captured by the Allies. This is accomplished by giving orders to your units and examining their positions - you must liberate all captured colonies to win!
