0Chapter 5 - The Deadly Asteroid Field of Rodix Draconium
Story: Deep within Intelligence Nexus, our heroes which are Jarred, Lief, Barda, Jasmine, Sharn, Mira, Oskar, Gothetta and Ella have proved themselves against Borg Generals: Lucius Malfoy, Slix Vigma, Lydia, Ivanov and Gustav, Smaug, Wenlock, Darkar the Shadow Phoenix and Kai the Chi Collector who revealed to them that symbol they found on walls of Kernag the Smeeb's lair on planet Marrowmor is emblem of ancient Rodix Cult which is a secret sect that was protecting line of last emperor Xodar of Gorn for centuries. But Jarred, Lief, Barda, Jasmine, Sharn, Mira, Oskar, Gothetta and Ella conclude that Xodar is dead, to which answer they got from Borg Empire asks yet more questions. Therefore Jarred, Lief, Barda, Jasmine, Sharn, Mira, Oskar, Gothetta and Ella escape from Borg Empire and arrive into moon-like planet Rodix Draconium that is revered birthplace of Xodar of Gorn, and which is also historical homeworld of Rodix Cult. Rodix Cult which is full of fanatical monks have chosen their hiding place well when they built their monastery on Rodix Draconium because asteroids that surround Rodix Draconium are as deadly as monks of Rodix Cult are zealous. Doom, Lief, Barda, Jasmine, Sharn, Mira, Oskar, Gothetta and Ella must fight against suicide pilots of Rodix Cult and dodge around huge lumps of asteroid fields surrounding Rodix Draconium by letting them drift past as much as they are able rather than blasting asteroids into hundreds of deadly splinters.
Gameplay: Fifth levels are very hard. Only enemies you will meet in these levels are Vampires. Vampires are pink-red star-shaped ships with one orange flare on their backside that move fast. Despite not being able to fire, Vampires are dangerous enemies because they always chase after you to kill you, which makes Vampires far more dangerous than previous enemies you have encountered so far. But the real hardship is levels with huge swarms of asteroids. Asteroids appear in variants of big, medium, small and tiny. Big Asteroids explode into two Medium Asteroids after being shot three times. Medium Asteroids explode into two Small Asteroids after being shot two times. Small Asteroids explode into two Tiny Asteroids after being shot. Tiny Asteroids don't split at all after being shot. There are also Base Asteroids which are Big Asteroids with two transparent yellow crystals which after being shot three times will release several escape pods of random type. Fifth extra weapon I will explain is Flamer. Flamer allows you to rapidly fire a stream of flames with limited range which is most useful against static or non-firing enemies. Ammo quantity for Flamer is 600.
