The sudden insistent beep of the search radar alarm breaks the silence in the cockpit of the solar-powered skimmer. As a newcomer to the Planetary Defence Force, you tense to full alertness - this is your first mission.

The recently established colony on the planet Beta Strigidae has been under attack from huge, winged reptiles - the semi-sentient Pteragon. Your task is to destroy the incoming waves of monsters before they reach the settlements. Each member of the PDF must deal with five of the creatures in each attack, and there is intense competition within the force to shoot them down in as short a time as possible.
