| 1 | The Mission : |
| 2 | The Resistance is about to launch a major offensive against the Empire . In preparation for this , they have captured several starships , but they lack the essential power sources for these formidable craft , Klyston Pods . You have been commissioned by the Resistance to steal these pods from the Empire 's storage panels . |
| 3 | To do so you must locate the pod , hover just above it , activate your starship 's tractor beam and thrust away from the pod . Once the beam has locked onto the pod , you can deactivate the tractor beam . You must then carry the pod away from the planet . |
| 4 | You receive a bonus at the end of each successful mission . |
| 5 | PRESS THE SPACE BAR TO CONTINUE |
| 6 | The Planet 's Reactor : |
| 7 | Each planet has a reactor providing power for the limpet guns . Shooting the reactor will damage it , and the guns will cease firing until power can be restored . The more damage done , the longer this will take . If you shoot the reactor repeatedly , it will become critically damaged . You will then have a limited amount of time to escape before the reactor explodes and the planet is destroyed . If this happens , and you have not collected the pod , then the mission has failed . 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 . |
| 8 | Automatic Limpet Guns : These guns are the planets ' defence system . Accurate shooting from your spaceship will destroy the limpet guns . |
| 9 | Fuel Tanks : |
| 10 | To collect fuel , hover just above a fuel tank and activate the tractor beam . |
