About This Game
Year 2051. The long-abandoned planet SATAZIUS has become a pirate stronghold, and those pirates have just attacked the patrolling cruiser Agano with one goal: steal the assault ship Trafalgar stowed aboard. The Trafalgar pulls off an emergency escape. Calculating the odds — 0.02% chance of surviving a run past the pirates, 1% chance of successfully destroying the pirate base — the crew takes the higher number and turns their ship directly into the heart of SATAZIUS.
