On the third millennium, after many decades of scientific and social
enlightenment, nations had to deal with increasing overpopulation, terrorism.
pollution and a collapsing economic system. This led to increased border
tensions, and soon small regional wars turned into a Global War, where all
kinds of weapons were used, killing millions and destroying vast amounts of
knowledge. As the use of nuclear weapons rendered many oil fields useless due
to radiation, mankind had to turn away from fossil fuels, and eventually
outlawed their use and turn to clean energy sources.

During the war, China had broken up into several independent states, but
thanks to their reliance in both old and new technologies, they bounced back,
and under the hand of Emperor Zindo reunited, and went to control most of
Asia. The United States, while had their population devastated, managed to
hold their infrastructures and technology mostly intact, and had Mexico and
Canada joining as new states, as well as a change in the constitution that
changed the government into a private company, with certain special citizens
being considered “shareholders”.

Due to the limitations of non-fossil energy sources, the control of a recently
discovered material (Thermodux) that could amplify the power output of those
energy sources is highly coveted. So, after an accident that killed the
researchers and completing an hostile take-over of India Incorporated, Zendo
announced a “security attachment” to “protect” the Solomon Islands (where
Thermodux was being studied) from further terrorist threat. However, The US
contracted a mercenary company, Navco, to clear the island, with the player
joining as new recruit for the company, working for cash and shares in the US
government.

The game is a typical flight combat simulator, with missions involving patrol,
defense and attacking enemy facilities. The ultimate goal of the game is to
survive each mission, taking down as many enemy aircraft as possible to
collect a bounty, that can be used to purchase better weaponry and new crafts.
The player should also avoid the destruction of USA-controlled facilities, as
they carry a fine.
