The Planet Novenia has been attacked by the Egrons, who snuck in by disguising their craft as the protected Starglider species, which Novenia's automated defenses were programmed not to shoot.

Your task is to fight them using only an obsolete Airborne Ground Attack Vehicle. This was designed as the ultimate combat machine. It has a fully-rechargeable shield, plasma drive unit, an inbuilt scanner, a high top speed and 2 homing missiles.

The game is viewed from AGAV's cockpit, with control over speed, weapon targeting and firing. There are several control options like fixed or floating sighting and automatic centering, allowing you to balance the game between easy sighting and advanced shooting ranges. Repair depots must be visited frequently for refilling the weapon bays and repairing the ship.

Crucially, the Egron Stargliders need 3 missiles to be shot down, so at least 1 visit to a depot is required to complete this job, at which point you move up to the next, harder, level.
