[edit] Story
L'Bastin, genius geneticist and renegade steward of Vaax, king of the planet Ensulina, is poised to conquer the cosmos with an army of terrifying clones - dog-headed Prefectas, the perfect warriors! Only a solo mission can penetrate the defences of L'Bastin's fortress planet Aarok; only the best solar trooper can undertake such a mission. That agent is YOU - if you dare!
The player takes the role of Jang Mistral, a four-armed soldier from the planet Ensulina. His mission is to travel to Aarok, an artificial planet that has become a den of rogues and criminals, and capture a scientist named L'Bastin. The mission is doubly urgent because L'Bastin has reportedly created a species of dog-headed humanoid called the Prefectas who are the ultimate warriors in the universe.
The book contained diagrams on the inside cover to be used in certain situations in the book, however these were not included in certain print runs. Oddly readers found that this did not pose a significant impediment to their progress in the book.
