"The scenario is the old tried and tested one, only this time there are no Klingons, this time they're called Vagans (hence the title). This wicked race of aliens has really caught the Federation with it's trousers down and has attacked without warning and it's up to you and your trusty ol' ship, the Andromeda, to beat off the attack.
The section of the galaxy they're attacking is divided up into 64 quadrants, each with 64 sectors, each sector built up of an 8x8 grid, and these can be all looked at separately. These all show the current locations of any Federation and enemy ships. Any action takes place on the short range scanner and you can fire at the enemy ships, but watch out! They can fire back!!
Defending the Federation's bases is the name of the game, these being very vulnerable to Vagan attack. Once these are destroyed no fuel is available and the Federation will crumble. There is a kind of 'smart bomb' that destroys everything in a sector, but once used you can't enter that sector without ruining your engines.
On screen information includes your position, quadrant, and amount of fuel and ammo you have left, along with a picture of the actual sector you are in." - Zzap Magazine
