Morgan Schafer (HWA), 12/18/92 Star Control ][ Role Playing Game Guide -=[HWA]=- ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Note: There is no clear way to finish this game, but this is the most logical order we can think of, so boot up and listen close! Table of Contents I. Starting Off in the Solar System Ok, you appear at the edge of the solar system and now you start your adventure. Here you go: A. Steer your ship towards earth (the third planet) and enter it. Now listen to the probe's stuff.Go to the starbase and listen to the Commander tell you of their problems. As he says, you gotta get radioactives. B. Leave Earth and fly to Mercury (the innermost planet) and enter orbit, scan, and land to pick up everything on there, now, go back to Earth, enter the Starbase. C. Now you have to go out and most likely fight the Ilwrath ship (use the Earthling ship) then proceed to the moon, land and touch the base on there, and kill off the probes if you wish. D. Next Proceed to Pluto (the outermost planet) and enter orbit, scan for energy, land, touch the Spathi, SYMPATHIZE with him. Once he is on your side, you are ready for the next step. Write down the co-ordinates Fwiffo gives you of his homeworld. II. Dealing with the Spathi Now, you have to get the Spathi as a people to join your cause, heres how: A. Once you go to Spathiwa, and talk the ships out of attacking you, go to their homeworld and talk to the High Council, ask them everything you can, the last thing being to join you. By the way, the Spathi live on the moon of their homeworld. B. As the council instructed, go to the planet and rid it of all bio life forms. Mine it if you wish, then go back to the moon, tell them you did what they wanted. Then tell them to join you. They will say come back later (GO back immediately), convince them to join, be aggressive. (say you still got the "Evil Ones" in suspended animation). C. After completing several other steps, the starport commander will will say communication was lost with the Spathi, proceed to their homeworld's moon, here you will get the Umgah Caster, you will need it later, plus you can call the Melnorme trader from anywhere in Hyperspace with this. III. Encounter the Zoq-Fot-Pik at Rigel Here you gotta meet the Zoq-Fot-Pik and make them your allies. A. Proceed to the Star System RIGEL (approximately 210.0 x 210.0). B. You will see their ship flying around, if not, go to each planet, and they are most likely in orbit. Talk to them, be freindly. They'll tell you to go to ALPHA TUCANAE (400.0 x 543.7), their home star system. C. Once you are at Alpha Tucanae, enter planet one, yer there! Now talk them through, see what they say, be careful though, Ur-Quan's hang around in this area. Get them to join you, and to give you their ship designs. Then it is safe to go back again, in fact anyone you talk to, go back twice. Unless they are hostile. IV. Meeting the Melnorme Trader Now you will meet the Melnorme Trader, you will buy important technology from him to improve your ship, as well as fuel and information. A. You will now proceed to go to Alpha Centauri (approx 150.0 x 100.0). B. You will see the Melnorme ship flying around, approach it, talk with him, and to get credits look at our list of Rainbow Worlds at the end of the guide, also collect Bio data. You will be able to find the trader at any Super Giant star. C. In the future, be sure to buy up the Melnorme's technologies, they come in handy. V. Orz Territory Here, you will talk to the Orz and also get all the items you need from this area. A. Proceed to Delta Vulcupulae (approx. 372.1 x 261.9). B. Talk to the ships thuroughly (do not ask about the Androsynth). C. Explore the planets until you find what the Orz describe as their special place (in the same star system). Convince them to let you land and go to the energy spot and pick up the Taalo Shield. D. Proceed to Epsilon Vulcupulae, Planet II, this is the former homeworld of the Androsynth, land and touch several ruins until you pass through them. VI. The Arilou and Quasi-Space Here you will meet the Arilou and also start using Quasi-Space for faster (and cheaper) travel. A. Proceed to the top star in the Circini star cluster (43.8 x 637.2). Move above the star a little. Stay in Hyperspace and wait until the 17th of the month, you will see what appears to a Giant Star on your display, fall into the portal. By the way, it only lasts 3 days every month (17th-20th). B. You are now in Quasi-Space. Look at the starmap, plot to the Large star off to the right, this is the Arilou homeworld, explore everything you can by talking to them thouroughy. Every other star in Quasi Space map leads to a certain spot in Hyper-Space, look for the list at the end of the guide. C. Plot course to the spot in Quasi Space closest to the Arilou home world. Enter it, you are back in Arilou space. D. Proceed to Alpha Pavonis (approx 55.0 x 800.0). Planet VII. Then land and go to the energy spot and from the Ur-Quan wreckage get the warp pod from the ship. E. Go back to the entrance to Quasi Space on the 17th, once your in go to the homeworld and the Arilou will install the Portal Spawner on your ship. From now on when you use this you can call a portal to Quasi space from anywhere in the galaxy. VII. Getting Rid of Those Annyoning Probes When your traveling through space, you encounter those annoying Slylandro probes, and are forced to fight them, heres how you get rod of them. A. Make your way to Beta Corvi (30.0 x 975.0). Go to the Gas Giant (yes, to thw GAS GIANT itself), here you will talk to the Slylandro gasbags. B. After chit-chatting about the past, ask them about the probes, they will tell you about them, you have to prod them about the probe's program and the replication ability. After you ask them to tell you about the program's priority table, it is obvious what to say. Make sure you dont leave without them giving you the self-destruct sequence dont worry, you wont see it yerself, but you know it. VIII. Meeting the Pkunk and Getting the Clear Spindle Here you will travel to Pkunk territory and meet them and get the clear spindle, which you need to complete the Ultron. A. Travel to Gamma Krueger (51.0 x 55.0) by whatever means, Hyperspace or QuasiSpace. Proceed to the first planet of the system. B. Converse with them and ask them all the questions, dont insult them. Dont call them a fruit loop until its the last question. C. Continue talking to their ships and planet until you have acquired 4 of the pkunk ships and more importantly, the CLEAR SPINDLE. IX.

Now, once you are in the system, go to the first planet, and land on it, explore the cities until you pass through them meaning your scientists have nothing more to say. C. Now go to the planet's moon, and once in orbit, go to the energy source, you've got the Burvix caster, you will need this shortly. X. Meeting and Dealing with the Druuge A. Proceed to Zeta Persei (898.0 x 275.0). B. Talk to a ship or preferably the first planet, once you explore everything they have to say, making sure you have 150 crew (hehe), trade them the 100 crew for their ROSY SPHERE, and buy nothing else from them, they are now of no further significant use. XI. The Thraddash and the Aqua Helix A. Proceed to the Zeta Draconis (275.0 x 875.0). B. The first thing you must do is win the respect of the Thraddash, to do this, you have to first talk to them, they will attack you, once you defeat that battle group, keep clearing out a few groups, like 15 ships, and then talk to them again, see if they praise you. Ask them all throughout about the Aqua Helix, then go to the planet and ask them if you can look around the surface, then take the aqua helix, and leave. XII. The Suppox and Utwig A. Proceed to Beta Librae (get from Nightfire). B. Go to the first planet, talk to the Suppox until they tell you about the Ultron and eventually they give it to you. C.
