INVASION  (Xerania II)

It has been almost 6 months since you defeated Xerania, but mankind's struggle to survive
has become a turmoil of desparatation. The Skaarj attacks continue, the Nali race is close
to extinction and Earth's resources are running out.
To make matters worse, the Skaarj still have possession of the Time Portal.
In an attempt to tip the balance of the war, a plan has been devised.
The Kraal, a powerful but spiritual race have been manipulated by the Skaarj for centuries.
Only now, has the proof of the Skaarj deception been brought to light. Whilst on Kraalous,
you discovered that the Nali have long since known a deep truth about the Human race that
the Skaarj have kept hidden from the Kraal.

Your job is to make sure that the Kraal find out about it.



Invasion_1  -  The Escape

The Skaarj ship you escaped in after destroying Xerania, has been refitted by Earth to be
used in covert missions. The Nali have finally revealed the secret location of their sacred
Scriptures as Sirius 9c, a remote planet inhabitted by an ancient Nali sect. The planet has
recently been used as a site for an Earth outpost, but is already under threat from
the Skaarj. Rumour has it that they too know of the Nali Scriptures and plan to stop Earth
from revealing their secret.

In the refitted Skaarj ship, you are part of a team sent to Sirius 9c, but something went
wrong whilst you slept!

Hint: How you play this level will have an effect on the rest of the game.



Invasion_2  -  Titanian Temple

After crash landing in an escape pod on one of Sirius 9c's moons, you awake to find yourself
being taken care of by the Nali. The task now is to find a way to get to Sirius 9c without
your ship!

Hint: Don't play with Titans.


Invasion_3  -  Sirius 9c

The chase is on! You must find the Nali Scriptures before the Skaarj or all is lost.
The Scriptures are hidden somewhere on the planet and guarded by a series of Nali
boobytraps.
Whilst on Sirius 9c you also discover that the Skaarj not only plan to stop your team,
but to relocate the Time Portal there and launch an invasion. Once you find the
Scriptures you must try to stop them.

Hint: Make sure you visit the prisoners.


Invasion_4  -  Massagula

You have infiltrated the Skaarj underground base. Now you're only hope is to find their
Time Portal and once again use it to your advantage. You can go back with the Scriptures
to your craft and send the data to the Krall before the Skaarj even settle on the planet!
(And hope it doesn't cause a temporal paradox!)
The Time Portal is now protected by an automated defense grid which has been designed to
look like the Kraal deity "Massagula". Get past Massagula, set the date on the Time
Portal and jump in.

Hint: Massagula is a machine, you cannot destroy it.


Invasion_5  -  Victory

You've almost completed your mission. Arriving back aboard your ship, you arrive back
to the point where the Skaaj are approaching Sirius 9c. Send the data to the Kraal and
hopefully they will respond in Earth's favour.

Hint: Don't get too cocky!


Invasion_6  -  End sequence

Sit back and watch the Kraal in action.
