Overview

    Trantor is best described as a top-down shooter with a futuristic theme.

    The action in the game is frantic and a single hit will destroy the player's ship, unless it is otherwise protected. Enemies are numerous and many take more than one hit to kill. A variety of power-ups may be collected to upgrade weapons and defenses. In order to succeed, the player must utilize special modifications made to the ship which allow the pilot to defeat or evade the enemy in unconventional ways.

Background Story

    The year: 10,982 AD. The Galactic Empire has ruled over humanity with an iron fist for three thousand years from the city-planet of Trantor. Dirk Bonesteel was captain of the emperor's guard, until he one fateful evening he was discovered in the Princess Irulan's private chambers...

    Dirk was stripped of rank and re-assigned to Arcturus 9, a planet at the very edge of the galaxy. Weeks doing nothing on Arcturus 9 turned into months, months into years. Just when Dirk thought he would never see Trantor or his princess ever again it was discovered that the imperial navy had usurped the emperor's throne. The whereabouts of the royal family were unknown...

    Dirk knew he wasn't the only man still loyal to the emperor, but he knew that the loyalists would need a leader. During his time in the emperor's guard he had met many important people, people he knew would help him. As he jumped into his ship on Arcturus 9 he decided that nothing would stop him, not even if he had to blast his way across the galaxy, all the way to Trantor!
