The aliens have taken over Earth and plan to destroy all of humanity. You have been selected to be a member of the Secret Space Agency because of your career in the Space Force. Since you will be a rebel it's not safe for you to stay on Earth so we're sending you to the LYA space station. From there we need you to complete the missions that your commander gives you. When playing through the game you will complete missions, encounter new alien spaceships, and be able to build better spaceships to keep up with the aliens increasing strength. Once given a mission you will go out with the goal to complete the mission. As you progress in the game you will fight different types of alien spacecrafts each with their own unique stats. After killing an enemy, alien spacecraft, it will drop between 0 and 5 materials. After collecting enough materials you will be able to select a new part of the spacecraft that you would like to build. Inside the LYA space station hanger you will be able to change out the different parts of your spaceship to make the strongest and most sophisticated spacecraft ever. Each spacecraft will have it's own unique stats. With over 500 possible combinations and that doesn't even include paint color! Whenever you don't have enough of a certain material but too much of another you can trade materials. Each day the trades will change, so your always bound to see a great trade. Trades do have different ranges so sometimes you can get a steal where you get a ton of material for little but at the same time you can also get trades that are more expensive than they are worth.
