With the Savaran Microsol base in ruins, Trent resupplied on Savara's black market, thanks to his friends who made arrangements. One of his friends also got into contact with the Gencore Tech Alliance, Microsol's main rival corporation.

Gencore, though vastly inferior economically and militarily to Microsol, has been opposing the evil corporation. It is one of the few eyes in the sector that sees Microsol's evil. The political and economical games between the two companies escalated recently because of Microsol monopolizing Tyrian's terraformation - which Trent was working on so hard not a few days ago.

Transon Lohk, Gencore's Chancellor, personally contacted Trent after his friend explained his plight. Gencore would provide supplies, weapons, and information to Trent, in exchange of his outstanding flying skills used to spy on Microsol. Transon explains how something suspicious is happening on Tyrian, and data on the topic could help Gencore convince the Remus council to stop the terraformation project, removing Microsol's recent gain of influence.

But first, Trent had to reach Deliani, the tech world, where Gencore's headquarters are. Another journey though space, and the expected Microsol interference, was to be expected.

Some fresh air! Or as much as you can get in the vacuum of space, anyway. Not that we didn't get enough "fresh air" before.

This level is a bonus (as the name implies). 3 groups of ships attack, with random enemies in-between. Yet it's those random enemies, the Morbles, aka the spinning metal thingies, which may cause you trouble on Engage. The will try to follow you sometimes, determined to ram your ship. Not convenient when you're fighting a fleet of other ships.

Many enemy ships give gems if you wait a while before destroying them ; more specifically, if you wait until they break their formation and approach you. The most important one is the top-left ship of the first group ; it even has its own "end-game hint" about it. Do not destroy it until it charges, and it will drop a large purple gem ; worth 5000 points. There are very few such gems in the whole game.

Other than that ship, I don't bother sparing anyone. Some give 500-points small blue gems if you wait, but I don't care. Shoot Firebomb, unleash an Atomic Railgun barrage, level done. Still, be careful, Engage Mode is dangerous.
