From the back of the English/European PS2 case: Staryear 528... Humanity has set forth with ten other races, the member of the Galactic Inter-Species Co-operation Alliance, and brought the first and third sections of the galaxy's Formiton region under their control. Though the massive differences in culture and politics initially stirred up conflicts between those in the Alliance, these differences were gradually overcome, and peace was finally achieved. However, this peace was shattered by the all-out, indiscriminate attack of a new type of life form, totally different to any encountered before. The Alliance called these attackers the "THE SEED ARMY" and created the ASDF (Anti-Seed Defence Force) to counter the threat that they posed. The struggle has now raged for three years... Dozens of interior and exterior battleship components to research develop and use in your custom designs! 6 battleship designs: Stingray, Corvette, Frigate, Sea Cow, Kraken, and Cruiser. Research and develop new equipment: Sophisticated radar systems, powerful main computers, cloaking devices, deflector shields and more.
