Backfire!

In Backfire!, the year is 2947 and Earth is under attack from the K’caj clan of the Yenrut galaxy. As Galactic Commander Frank Drexor, you are commissioned by the United States Space Guard to defend a vital sector of space.

The K’caj possess technology far beyond Earth’s capabilities. Some enemy ships use tractor beams, while others deploy subspace energy disruptors that create barriers capable of reflecting your cannon fire back at you.

Failure would give the invaders greater control of the sector, helping them move troops and equipment more effectively and threatening the fate of Earth’s citizens.
