A darkness is falling across the galaxy. With allied forces in a full desperate retreat across the remains of Zaxon B, the Red Leopards move forward in an attempt to redress the balance. With the protective orbiting space station already under attack, the last opportunity for escape has now passed. The stranded forces on the planet are alone.
