Defending the Orbitals are I-type and P-type ships and E-type missiles whose job is to crash into you while you also avoid asteroids and space mines.

As you move around the environment, you will stay affixed to the center of the screen. The Starfighter moves in eight directions and fires front and back at the same time. Points are earned through destroying Orbitals, enemy ships and missiles, asteroids and space mines, and bonus points for defeating enemy formations and spy ships.
