EGATrek puts you in command of a starship in a battle to save the galaxy. A large invasion fleet has arrived and you alone are responsible for fighting off the invaders in your quadrant. You'll be kept busy figuring out battle strategy as you go from encounter to encounter.

In addition, you'll need to find star bases to resupply your ship. You may be called on to make rescues of other ships or planets. And you must do it all as quickly as possible without running out of fuel or getting your ship destroyed.
