Episode 1: Planet Unadar
Story: Sonny Blackbones and his Crusaders of Space Pirate crew, consisting of him, Korso, Artie, Bennett and their latest member, Shinigami arrive at planet Unadar to start the fight between them and Spacebeard's armada present on that planet. As Sonny and his crew battle Spacebeard, Shinigami temporarily leaves the fleet to infiltrate the Pirate base that is working on creating a war poison gas of the planet Unadar's pollution gases that Spacebeard will plan to use it to exterminate Pirates and all who try to foil his vengeful plans.
Gameplay: These are the first levels, they are very easy. Each time you destroy newly discovered enemy, you can go to laptop (press F1) to see their lore, score, durability and rate of fire. First enemies you will meet are Steel-1 that moves only left and right and fires slowly. If one ship of this enemy is the only enemy left, it will start chasing you while firing very quickly, it gives 3 points when destroyed. Invader that moves in Z letter pattern (as well as in mirrored Z letter pattern), fires a little faster than previous one and it's bullets travel much faster, it gives 7 points when destroyed. X-Alien M1 that fires self-guided bullets that go at your ship when in range, it gives 10 points when destroyed. Steel-2 is same as Steel-1, but is more durable and fires a little faster, it gives 6 points when destroyed. Shook that moves very slow, but has extra durable armor and can fire two bullets at once, and all together at once, it gives 14 points when destroyed. MB-1a that will fire eight bullets that go in circular formation when destroyed, so avoid destroying multiple of them at once, it gives 11 points when destroyed. Zetol-M that moves slowly and has medium health, but it fires at your location, so try to destroy it first, it gives 22 points when destroyed. Observer, that is fairly durable and fires eight bullets that go in circular formation, it gives 26 points when destroyed. First boss can be challenging to defeat because it fires eight bullets that go in circular formation, and shortly after that, it fires one bullet going at your location, and can call Invaders to help him. But if you destroy the turrets firing at you, boss will be unable to hurt you at all, only Invaders will be able to hurt you once you destroy turrets of the boss. Extra-Weapon Power-Up will be provided for you for the first boss and will last 40 seconds instead of 20 seconds when picked up normally.
