THE HISTORY
In AD 5150 the search began to find other worlds for human
colonisation. Eventually a small planet named Krauze was
selected.
The Earth-like surface of the new world was littered with the
crumbling evidence of a long dead race: Ruined citys, giant
monuments and fragmented records, were all that remained of the
savage, brutal semi-human creatures.
A Race of Deviants ...........
100 000 years before, the Deviants had conquered their
neighbouring planets, but the Deviants warlords were hungry for
power and a bloody civil war erupted. This almost wiped out the
race, only a handful escaped.
Recently the colony has been under attack from a source tracked
down to one of the star system's many asteroids.
The deviants had awakened and were rapidly turning their asteroid
into a massive battle station.
A crack squad of 'Starwarrior' commandos were dispatched to
destroy the Deviants base. They managed to plant a number of
nuclear explosive devices, but failed to prime the timing
mechanisms.
As the last Starwarrior, you must complete the mission and uphold
the honour of your fallen comrades.
