Well the galaxy is ruled by a group of evil guys, the Phantom Council. The evil guys do bad things, read as kill, to the innocent people in the name or order. You are a fighter pilot flying the Jagger, which is the deadliest craft that flies. The Jagger has a lot of good weapons to blow things up, such as a turbo thrust, cloaking device, lots of weapons, and many armor upgrades.
Shields charge up with time.
Play supports null and phone modem and network. There is no cooperative play and two copies of the CD come in every box to help you and your friend get multiplayer fast. The ships and background are all 3-D modeled and have weather, lighting, and shadow effects. Resolutions of 640x480 letterbox, 640x400 full screen, 320x200 to 320x240 are supported but the higher resolutions slow the game down even on a 133 MHz Pentium machine. The internet is full of video card related bugs and crashes.
