Return Of The Vortons
It is 140 years in the future. The evil Vortons from Tau Ceti have invaded every star system within 12 light years of Earth. As the Captain of the Star Destroyer I.S.S. Olympia, you must eliminate this threat before the Vortons can complete their conquest. The Olympia is equipped with 5 fighter ships, 50 Ten Gigaton Plasma Torpedoes, a 198 PW Pulse Laser and the new Nova Burst weapon to help you defeat the agile and fast moving saucer ships. The saucers have powerful missiles and travel in armadas containing up to twenty-five ships. The Vortons also have Mother Ships that can deploy more saucers.
