DEXTERITY SOFTWARE presents JUMPSTAR
OVERVIEW
--------
Late in the 21st century, human beings discovered the JumpStar just beyond
their own solar system. By flying a ship into it, a pilot could traverse
astronomical distances in seconds, visiting remote areas of our galaxy
never before realized. At last the terrans could travel outside the Sol
system, make contact with other advanced alien races, and enter a new age
of scientific discovery.
Humans, however, were not the only species to take notice of the JumpStar.
Several devious alien worlds had begun sending hostile ships through their
own JumpStars into the Sol system, attempting to cut off all terran access
to the rest of the galaxy, bottling the humans inside their own system.
Many terran ships were lost in the battles which followed, and the enemies
of Sol began to gain the upper hand. Terran ships were being destroyed
almost as fast as they could be built, and it looked like the humans might
never be able to recover. Rumors spread that several of the alien species
blockading the JumpStar were beginning to team up to conquer earth, to
strip the planet and split its valuable resources between them. The terran
scientists back on earth had devised a means to seal the JumpStar
permanently, but they considered it only a last resort to keep the intruders
out of their system.
This desperate situation called for a desperate measure. The humans sent
all of their remaining ships to the JumpStar in a do or die attempt to
permanently oust the invaders from the Sol system. The fierce space battle
resulted in high casualties for both sides, so much that every human ship
was destroyed save one, but the humans were victorious. Since the intruders
will soon be sending along additional reinforcements which could easily
overpower the last of the terran fleet, there is only one option left.
That last terran ship must fly through the JumpStar to the attacking worlds
and seal the alien Jumpstars from the other side, preventing the invaders
from ever threatening earth again. You are the pilot of that last ship,
brave of heart, quick of reflexes, and heroic by nature. Tighten your
harness and prepare for battle as you fly into the heart of the Jumpstar.
The fate of the human race is in your hands! Are you ready for the
challenge?
