  • Sedna, one of the furthest planet-like objects in the solar system, is home to the advanced tactics flight school, where pilots are sent for weeks of intense training. Having proven themselves as the best of the best on earth, they then complete further training with the best fighter pilots ever. Most think that nobody would stand a chance against even a pilot with half their skills....

    What they don't know is how far they have to fall. Spoiled by the assists provided by modern computers, they know little of what it truly means to fly in space. The flashy hardware and bleeding edge technology in modern machines may be nice, but it is the core skills of the pilot that make a fighter, and pilots go to Senda to learn them for the first time.

    The vorpal class fighters were the original space fighter, developed during the Sirian invasion of 2734. Equipped with a single thruster, they were notoriously difficult to control. Modern day pilots, accustomed to automatic stabilization, are quick to forget there is no road or air to slow you down in space. Turning your ship does little to change your momentum when trying to stave off an impending collision.

    The saving grace of the vorpal fighters was their revolutionary (at that time) braking system, allowing a ship to gradually slow to a halt, regardless of the heading. Complemented by a multi-view radar system, expert pilots trained on these ships have no match in the galaxy.

    Given reliance on modern contrivances, stepping into a vorpal class ship is always a shock. But, perseverance does pay off...

    21 Days Later -- "Vectorized" Contest

    "From Asteroids to Vectrex (GCE's system), vector graphics have a special place in the history of gaming. First pioneered by Cinematronics in the 1977 game "Space Wars", the method of drawing sharp geometric shapes with straight lines harks back to the days when 'simplicity and intense gameplay' were the mantra of game players and developers. iDevGames invites Mac developers to go retro by developing a game that captures the glory and spirit of vector graphic gaming."
