Description

Collection includes:

  • Space Capsule #2 - StarGate
  • Space Capsule #3 - Titan Strike!
StarGate re-creates this climatic battle using a stylized, semi-abstract system of movement that allows combatants to conceal themselves from one another in the various planes and dimensions created by the Nullgate. Players use cardboard playing pieces, representing units of the Virunian and Coalition forces, to maneuver and engage in combat. Simple probability charts reveal the outcome of combat and various game functions.

Streaming through the mysterious stargates, the power-hungry Virunian forces have wracked the Milky Way for nearly 80 years in the War of Purification. Remnants of the civilizations devastated by the Virunian Tri-Ships, banded together in a determined coalition, awaited the moment to launch their counter-stroke. In 2519 AD, the moment had arrived: the Virunians encounter their nemesis and, retreating headlong to the source of their power, find themselves dispersed and without their potent unified command. Coalition telepaths, sensing the Virunian confusion, direct their forces to the Nullgate, arriving just as the first helpless Virunian vessels tumble forth from the stargates. The battle to ensue will decide the Virunian fate in the galaxy.

Titan Strike! Simulates the struggle between the EEC and the HEA in deep space and on Titan itself. Futuristic infantry teams on hover platforms, Titan environmental Combat Vehicles, drone robot tanks, and jet-powered hoppers clash in an all-out effort to secure Titan's ultimate treasure - energy sufficient to sustain Earth's crowded billions for a century.

The Martian Rebellion of 2093 had frayed the economic fabric of the entire Solar System. As the USA and USSR gambled on the development of interstellar colonization, the European Economic Community and the Hegemony of Eastern Asia surveyed the Outer System. Most important among the new colonies was Titan; the largest moon of Saturn, beneath whose barren surface lay the salvation of civilization - fissionable materials sufficient to feed Earth's hungry reactors. Cooperation marked the early efforts of the two colonizing powers, but by 2117 - twelve years after the first fissionable strike - economic and territorial disputes precipitated war.
