Translated into English and typed in by T.E.W. of AEON. Edited by PARASITE.
BACKGROUND
It's 3001. It has not been possible to develope an indipendent Space-Travel,
yet . Because of this, travel through space and live on other planets is only
possible in a distance of 15 light-years (from our sun) .
The imperium was reigned by an imperator, who kept up law and order for
some time. But now, the imperator is dead and a war has started between the
six lords of the universe, who'll become the new imperator .
The six lords do nearly everything to expand themselves and to reign the
wholeuniverse one day .
One of them is John O'Connor. A master in strategy and a beliver in law and
order. Will he reign the universe one day and will he cope with the other
5 cruel lords ?

take over their planets .

have to decide, if it shall produce ships or fuel .
2) The system belongs to another lord (colored) and has its own trups
(circles) . Now a new screen appears, on which is shown, wo'll win (depends
on troops of enemy/own troops)

the system (arrow) . A fight will start as described in 2) . The loser of
the fight has to leave all his own systems and the winner will reign
them from now on . If a lord looses 2 times in such a fight, he's no longer
in game .
