Attacked

An architecturally basic but action-packed (not so) short single player campaign for Unreal.

STORY:

-Short version: Your ship got attacked and you need to get off, but when you land on a friendly planet you find more Skaarj and say “Damn.”

-Long Version: You are a fairly new yet skilled member of the UDI (Universal Defense Initiative), which is responsable for protection of the human race and its allies from the Skaarj and other hostile races. You are on a small IRDC “special purpose” (while it seems to you that it serves no purpose, considering it has such weak defenses and doesn’t even have a valuable cargo) shuttle called the Renegade. You are returning to Earth after patrolling an area near a planet far from Earth called Tropherous. Tropherous was colonized about 30-40 years ago as a large mining operation. Little do you know that the Skaarj know something about the planet that the colonists and miners don’t know. What they know is so great that they began a full-scale invasion of the planet. When your small, nearly defenseless ship is sighted, they immediately fear that you are a spy and aim to take you out. And so the ship is attacked.

SITUATION:

The Skaarj have damaged many parts of the ship and the main power source is destroyed. The door leading to the hangar has been blocked, and the Emergency Teleporters that lead to the hangar are offline due to the power drop. Engineering is locked and the coolant system is damaged, so the engines are overheating and will soon detonate the whole ship.

Your only hope is to activate the EPS (Emergency Power System) to unlock Engineering and restore power to some parts of the ship. In the Engineering section, you can try to divert the engine power to lower the core temperature and to aid the EPS, which will also activate and unlock the Emergency Teleporters. Miraculously, the escape shuttle in the hangar is undamaged. Get to the shuttle and get off the ship as fast as possible.
