Space combat sim where you're a fighter pilot for the Galactic Terran Alliance facing an alien threat called the Shivans. These enemies appeared near Earth with superior tech, ignored all communication attempts, and started destroying human forces on sight. You fly missions against Shivan fighters and capital ships in full 3D space—no up or down, just six degrees of freedom. Dogfights happen around massive flagships that launch swarms of enemy craft. The campaign puts you in scripted story missions where the Shivans' technological edge means you're often outgunned. Expect to manage shield facings, switch between multiple weapon loadouts mid-fight, and coordinate with wingmen via radio commands. If you want arcade-style space shooting, look elsewhere—this leans toward sim complexity.
