In The Distant Future, Mankind Is LockedIn A Deadly War...

2629 A.D.
Terran Confederation exploration ship, lason, penetrates the Vega Sector and encounters a spacecraft of unknown origin. lason Commander, Jedora Andropolous, beams the greeting designed by Earth's Committee for Interaction with Alien Intelligences. The alien vessel opens up with all guns, destroying the lason and all hands.

2634 A.D.
The Terran Confederation declares war on the Empire of Kilrah in the Vega Sector. The Kilrathi, a vicious catlike race, retaliate with a punitive strike against the human colony on McAuliffe. After days of intense combat, the Kilrathi spearhead is momentarily broken.

2639 A.D.
Kilrathiforces occupy and enslave the human world of Enyo. In Phase I of the Enyo Engagement, a small human attack force drops space mines and engages enemy ships. As the Kilrathi escape the mined region, they belatedly realize that it is the jump point for Phase II of the attack. The Enyo Engagement ends with the Kilrathi forced into retreat.

2649 R.O.
Terran ground forces launch an attack on a Kilrathi colonial fortification, but are routed by unexpected Kilrathifighter -craft support. TCS Tiger's Claw fights a delaying action to give the Terran fleet time to reach safety. The Tiger's Claw is able to jump back into Terran space with most of its engines destroyed and half of its pilots listed as casualties. The carrier spends six months in space dock, being repaired and refitted.

Today
You are a rookie pilot on the refurbished Tiger's Claw. You will learn your mission objectives for attacking and fighting the Kilrathi in secret briefings onboard the mother ship.
