Councilor Six years ago, the Coalition of Independent Planets defeated their most fearsome enemy, a race of warriors they had created—the Bions. Their army in ruins, the few surviving Bions fled to the safety of deep space. Thanks to your efforts, Coalition citizens could finally enjoy peace. But the universe was forever changed. Destruction of the Bion stronghold on planet Fury touched off stockpiles of red sheol and the hyper-explosive carbonium.
Mission objectives Get to your ship—there’s no time to waste. The situation is changing quickly and the Council will keep you informed of developments. Your new ship is called the Hellbender. Technological innovations in the Hellbender’s Compass and navigation systems detect Bions and Bion targets. Intelligence reports that Bions have infiltrated at least six planets. The Bions have advanced technology and are a dire threat to Coalition citizens. Councilor, you’re our only hope.
