You are a fighter pilot in the defense forces of the Tarminath League.
The recently claimed planet Garaven has been targeted for
aggressive colonization by a rival group known as the Zentili Frontier.
Each ship in the defense force will be assigned a specific task in
a particular area of the planet. Your mission is to hold the rich southern
polar region of Garaven for as long as possible. Slow the enemy's
advance and tax their resources for as long as possible. Other pilots
will be concentrating on defense of our settlers.
The southern polar region of Garaven has abundant natural resources,
a cold, arid climate, mountainous terrain, and a short day/night cycle.
Your atmospheric fighter has dual plasma pulse cannons and a strong
defensive energy shield. It is equipped to harvest resources from the planet's
surface, and use them to refuel and upgrade various systems. These upgrades
will happen automatically. keep in mind that you will be vastly outnumbered,
and the enemy will send more ships the longer you hold out.
