Warp through a galactic chart to locate and destroy cruisers, fighters, and basestars before they eliminate your starbases. Using a galactic map, you identify specific sectors containing enemy spacecraft to target them directly. You must manage combat encounters across the galaxy to prevent the Krylon menace from destroying vital starbases and the Doomed Planet.
