                  STORY
                  On the very edge of known space, far from the systems of man, 
                  the insectoids race travel between the stars, colonising 
                  uninhabited and long dead planets, despite constant attack 
                  from the hostile arachnoids. 
                  To protect their colonies the insectoids use force shields 
                  designed to repel any large metallic objects - such as 
                  arachnoid stormtroopers. 
                  To maintain these protective bubbles at full power the force 
                  shield generators use vast quantities of energy and need 
                  regular recharching. 
                  To meet this need an elite group of insectoid warriors was 
                  created. Using reptilian mounts, known as runners, bred for 
                  speed and endurance, the warriors patrol the colony perimeter, 
                  recharging the generators and destroying any hostile lifeforms 
                  or arachnoid probes that may have penetrated the shield. 
                  Thus was born the legend of the Rimrunner. 
                  GAMEPLAY
                  You must maintain the force shield generators for the alotted 
                  time period. You will then be reassigned to a new colony. Each 
                  colony is equipped with four spare runners which will be sent 
                  out as they are needed. 
                  Any generators that require recharging will flash red on the 
                  locater. You are not able to recharge a generator while 
                  riding, only while on foot.
