The plot:

The evil Chaozid Empire has launched a surprise attack on your homeworld, establishing a heavily fortified base from where their forward assault group burrows deep underground, capturing subterranean lifeforms and transforming them into vicious biomechs.

With it being only a matter of time before the Chaozids start converting your people, it's up to you to take the controls of one of the few remaining Tiamat dragonship prototypes: the X class fighter, a craft capable of immense firepower, provided you pick up enough upgrade caches during a mission where you must dodge and blast like there's no tomorrow.
