INSTRUCTION
1. IN THE BEGINNING…
The fate of the Republic is in question. Disciples of the Dark Side are seizing control of the Trade Federation and the sovereignty of the free planets is now in doubt. Tired of negotiating trade agreements, the Trade Federation is now using force to pursue its policies.
For the peaceful inhabitants of the planet Naboo, there is little hope of resistance. The Trade Federation has formed a powerful blockade around the planet. Ships to and from the planet are being stopped. A heavy occupational force is preparing to land on the planet's surface in an effort to "compel" the Queen to except the Trade Federation's terms. If help from the outside cannot be found, the people of Naboo are doomed.
As a Naboo starfighter pilot, you represent the planet's only hope for rescue. If the Queen can escape beyond the blockade and present her appeals to the council on Coruscant, the Trade Federation's aggression may yet be stopped. It is up to you and your squadron to blast a hole in the blockade and win the Queen's freedom!
2. YOUR MISSION
The Queen must escape through the Trade Federation blockade and win support from the Council on Coruscant. To do this she will need your help and the help of the Naboo starfleet. There is a large force of Trade Federation battleships and droid fighters orbiting the planet, preventing any ship from leaving. You must lead a squadron into space and clear a path for the Queen's escape.
Your Naboo starfighter is armed with both twin laser cannons and proton torpedoes. Move your target cursor around the screen and center it on enemy targets. Fire your weapons when the cursor is over an enemy target to score a hit! Use your torpedoes on larger ships that take more hits to destroy.
Be careful not to shoot the Queen's ship or other members of your squadron. They will be flying in and out of your view so make sure you identify each ship before attacking. If the Queen's royal starship is destroyed the game is over.
Your shields can take 6 hits from enemy fire before your starfighter is destroyed. Shield energy will be restored after each stage but if you take 6 hits in one stage, your mission is over. Check your shield meter at the top of the screen to see how much energy your shield has left.
After each stage is complete, press the ON\START button to begin the next stage. If you can complete all 4 stages, the way will be clear for the Queen's escape and you will have won the game.

4. GAME STAGES
Stage 1
Droid fighters are patrolling the space above the planet Naboo. Any attempt at breaching the blockade will be met with immediate droid fighter resistance. Though the patrols are light enough for your squadron to handle, reinforcements will not be far behind. Your first mission is to scramble your squadron and make sure the Queen's ship has a safe zone for launching. Droid fighter patrols in the area must be knocked out and the first line of the blockade must be breached.
Stage 2
Once the patrols are destroyed you must lead your squadron deeper into the blockade and face the second line of the occupational forces. Trade Federation battleships in the area of the breach must be destroyed so the Queen's royal starship can safely navigate to open space. Droid fighter reinforcements will be arriving and you will need to protect other members of your squadron. Destroy the battleships and prepare for the Queen's escape!
