STORY:

- On the distant planet of Gaston, a ruthless dictator named Gildy rose to power. After the takeover of the local planetary neighbors, Gildy began a compaign to ruthlessly occupy the galaxy of Galmedes. The Gastonian military and colonizing forces reported a substantial amount of success with the first invasion. A dedicated team of Galmedian scientists labored desperately to create a weapon capable of destroying Gastonian forces. They finally succeded in creating LEPTON ( Launched Electro-Projectile Thermal Osmotic Nullifier). LEPTON was capable of emitting a sub-lightspeed projectile which would infiltrate the enemy target by osmotic means, then create a nullifying field of set volumem destroying the enemy in the progress. The Galmedian people were now prepared and ready for invading Gastonians. And here the story begins...
