| 1 | The Mission: |
| 2 | The Resistance is about to launch a major offensive against the Empire. |
| 3 | In preparation for this, they have captured several starships, but they lack the essential power sources for these formidable craft, Klyston Pods. |
| 4 | You have been commissioned by the Resistance to steal these pods from the Empire's storage panels. |
| 5 | To do so you must locate the pod, hover just above it, activate your starship's tractor beam and thrust away from the pod. |
| 6 | Once the beam has locked onto the pod, you can deactivate the tractor beam. |
| 7 | You must then carry the pod away from the planet. |
| 8 | You receive a bonus at the end of each successful mission. |
| 9 | PRESS THE SPACE BAR TO CONTINUE |
| 10 | The Planet's Reactor: |
| 11 | Each planet has a reactor providing power for the limpet guns. |
| 12 | Shooting the reactor will damage it, and the guns will cease firing until power can be restored. |
| 13 | The more damage done, the longer this will take. |
| 14 | If you shoot the reactor repeatedly, it will become critically damaged. |
| 15 | You will then have a limited amount of time to escape before the reactor explodes and the planet is destroyed. |
| 16 | If this happens, and you have not collected the pod, then the mission has failed. |
| 17 | If you retrieve the pod, send the reactor into its critical phase and leave the planet safely, you receive an extra bonus of 2000 points. |
| 18 | Automatic Limpet Guns: |
| 19 | These guns are the planets' defence system. |
| 20 | Accurate shooting from your spaceship will destroy the limpet guns. |
| 21 | Fuel Tanks: |
| 22 | To collect fuel, hover just above a fuel tank and activate the tractor beam. |
| 23 | Destroying a limpet gun.... 750 points |
| 24 | Destroying a fuel tank..... 150 points |
| 25 | Collecting a fuel tank..... 300 points |
| 26 | An extra spaceship is awarded for every 10,000 points scored. |
