Star Raiders: The Adventures of Saber Raine

Saurian attack fighters

have broken through the front lines.

- We are in route to target...

- Evasive maneuvers!

Initiate attack vector

at coordinates Six J Alpha 12.

Affirmed.

They're coming in too fast! I can't...

Saurian target acquired. Squadron X, move in!

Directly ahead, vector 1-1-3-8.

Direct hit! Defensive aura holding.

- It's on a collision course!

- Break formation!

Target reacquired.

- Senjo formation five.

- Senjo five.

Position locked. Nova, engage ion bridge.

Engaged.

Okay, boys and girls...

...let's remind this Saurian viper how

the Terran empire deals with invaders.

Fire!

Target locked!

We broke through the defensive aura.

Secondary engines severely damaged.

It's adrift. Stabilizers down.

Let's finish this.

Target primary atomic engine.

What?

Terran Squadron commander, stand down.

That ship is protected.

Unidentified vessel, do not interfere,

we are under orders.

I've just given you new orders.

And who are you to issue

orders to Squadron X?

Captain Saber Raine,

Terran special operations.

Captain Raine?

I must inform you, you are interfering with

extermination orders from the rear admiral.

And I'm telling you, Commander,

that order is wrong.

I will bring that ship and its captain in.

You will stand down!

Its engines are coming back on line!

It's breaking away, sir.

Sorry, sir, no can do.

Squadron X, Senjo formation two.

Senjo formation two.

Bad move.

I'm under fire! Evasive maneuvers!

Commander, your shields have been disrupted.

Stand down!

You just fired on your own forces.

That is an act of treason!

Circe, open a channel.

The channel's open, sir.

Captain, this is a direct order. Disengage!

I can't obey that order, sir.

This is your last chance, Saber.

That's a negative, sir!

Then you leave me no choice.

Commander Squadron X...

...Terminate with extreme prejudice!

Affirmative. Squadron X, take him out!

Always gotta be the hard way.

The system's core

has reached maximum capacity.

- They can't get through his shields.

- Engine core levels at full power.

Plasma torpedo.

- Plasma torpedo away.

- Coordinates alpha six four seven.

Initiate attack vector.

- He's headed straight at us!

- I can see that, thank you, Orion.

- Open fire! All batteries!

- Focus firepower toward the engine.

All hands brace for impact.

We're venting tri-plasma,

dispatch repair crews.

- He's launched a fusion mine!

- Evacuate the ship!

All hands abandon ship!

I repeat, all hands abandon ship!

Damn you, Saber.

Sensors.

No heat signature at all.

Must be cold blooded.

Control, what is this thing?

Scanning, sir.

Unknown, sir, there is

no match in the database.

Switch to motion sensors.

- Captain Raine.

- Saber, and don't salute me.

I'm Commander Voss, I lead this operation.

This is Ryll, my arms master,

and reconnaissance specialist Fade.

We should get out of here.

- What were those things?

- And why didn't they emit life signs?

Mutates, and they didn't emit life signs

because they aren't alive.

They're corpses animated

by some kind of larvae...

...that feeds off the bodies of the dead.

Part of the reason no one

comes to this planet.

It's a consequence of what

happened here centuries ago.

About that, there's no

data available, no records.

Just a quarantine ordering all vessels

to stay clear of this sector.

And this planet isn't on any known chart.

It's a good thing you got

the coordinates I sent you.

I'll tell you what I know.

This world...

...was once called Goros Prime.

- Never heard of it.

- I have.

A planet of legend,

ruled by a ruthless overlord.
