The year is 40XX, and the galaxy is in turmoil. The evil renegade SKUM fleets have all but completely overtaken the outer-rim worlds of the galaxy, and it's up to the Galactic Navy to keep the peace of the inner worlds. While on duty, your ship is attacked by SKUM scout ships, with heavy cruisers already jumping in to take over the world that your ship has been assigned to protect. The odds are stacked against you, and the best you can hope for is to stall for time long enough for the evacuation pods on the planets surface to load up, leave orbit and jump to other systems before the SKUM fleet closes in to raze the planet for resources. As your ships chief engineer, it's your job to load up the Energy Blocks into the ships engines to maintain shields and keep the lasers firing. When the Energy Blocks are loaded up properly (in a straight line with no gaps), they'll vaporize and transfer their energy to the ship. The Automated Block Dispenser System installed on the ship will feed in blocks faster and faster as the ship comes under heavier fire to allow for you to keep the ship appropriately energized. However, if the Energy Blocks reach the ceiling of the loading area, the sudden compression on all of the Energy Blocks at once will cause a catastrophic release of energy that will completely annihilate the ship and everyone in it. It's up to you soldier, give those people time to escape!
