THE LOCATIONS OF THE RAINBOW WORLDS
(PRECURSER ARTIFICIAL GARBAGE DUMPS)

Seek the 1st (first) planet in each of the following star
systems :-

Beta Pegasi       Epsilon Lipi    Groombridge     Beta Leporis

Epsilon Draconis  Gamma Aquarii   Gamma Reticuli  Gamma Kepler

Zeta Sextanis     Alpha Andromedae

By lining these planets up you will find that they create a
triangle, in the approximate centre of which is Delta
Crateris.  In this system is the Sa-Matra, the precurser
battle cruiser which you must destroy.  To get through the
ring of surrounding Ur-Quan and Kohr-Ah ships I entered the
orbit of one of the outer planets, then when I came out of
orbit the ships were no longer surrounding the planet around
which the Sa-Matra orbits.  I then went over to that planet
before the ships could reform around it.

WHAT TO DO


     You are in the Earth's solar system (Sol), goto Pluto
(last planet) & do an Energy scan.  There you will find a
Spathi ship.  Talk to him & don't threaten him & he will make
an invaluable ally during the course of the game.  Then goto
Mercury, scan it & get the Radioactive materials (they are the
red ones).  Now you can goto Earth (it is a blue planet), you
will be confronted with a drone, do not worry too much about
it.  Goto the moon, scan it & then dispatch to it.  Destroy
the biological if you wish - it doesn't matter they can't hurt
you.  Get what minerals you want, and then goto the energy
source.  Now goto the space station orbiting Earth, give the
commander the minerals he needs, and fight the Ilwrathi that
attacks.  Since its cloak is destroyed, you can destroy it
with 2 or 3 missiles from the Earth Cruiser.
     However, before you do anything make sure you save the
game, and continue to save the game before any fight, in case
you die.   
     Now the commander will be your ally.  The main thing you
want to do is make you ship as fast as possible, have a good
turning rate, and be able travel moderate distances before
refueling.  So 1st get some more thrusters for acceleration &
turning jets for turning (Duh).  Make sure you fill your
escorts to maximum capacity.  With whatever is left over you
can add whatever you feel like, maybe a dynamo or some more
cargo space, another planet lander isn't a bad idea either. 
Okay, now to get some more RU so that you can give yourself a
decent ship before you try and go anywhere.
     Goto Alpha Cerenkov I and talk to Admiral Zex, then goto
the edge of the system & destroy each & every one of the ships
that comes after you.  If you are attacked by a Red Slylandro
Probe on the way use your Spathi Eluder craft & continually
turn away from it firing at it with your secret weapon. 
Eventually it will start to follow you so just keep on firing
until you destroy it.  Do not try & attack using your main
weapon as you are likely to be destroyed - or at least loose
some crew.  Back to the VUX, since the VUX ships are so slow,
and their weapons are only short-range, you can destroy them
with the Earth Cruiser.  But remember to save the game each
time in case 1 of them zaps in beside you & blows you away
before you can do anything, their weapons may be short range
but they are powerful. 
     Okay, now you should have about 10000 RU, if you want you
can go into hyperspace & sit & wait for ships to appear &
attack if you want to get more RU, it is upto you.  Go back to
Earth (Sol) & add some more features to your ship (eg more
fuel tanks, more crew, more weapons, more landers).  If you
are getting broad range hypercasts from the Rigel system goto
it & talk to the ship you see, it is friendly.  Then goto
Delta Vulpeculae & talk to the Orz, DO NOT talk about the
Androsynth, as the Orz don't like it & you lose an ally.  Once
you have talked to them goto their home planet at Delta
Vulpeculae II C & request permission to go down to the planet. 
Once there get the Taalo shield and whatever minerals you
want.  Goto each of the planets in the system & grab what you
can so that you have some more RU & minerals to give to the
commander back at the Starbase.
     Goto Eta Vulpeculae I & check out what happened to the
Androsynth, then goto the Zot-Fot-Pik at Alpha Tucanae I. 
Make allies with them and then goto Alpha Pavonis VII.  Get
what you can from the wrecked Dreadnought, and what you want
from the surrounding planets.  Do not worry too much about
your fuel, just make sure that you have about 10 - 20 left
when you leave.  Now goto co-ordinates 043.8:637.2 and wait
around until the 17th of the month.  When the portal opens up
you will be sent to Quasi space, check the starmap & goto the
biggest star on the right.  Do not worry about fuel because
while you are in here you use none.  Talk to the Arilou and
get them to make you the portal spawner.  Then go back into
Hyperspace nearest Earth & return home.  If you have enough
fuel for the detour goto Alpha Centauri & if you don't see a
ship straight away then touch on each of the worlds (do not
orbit them, or grab minerals as you will lose crew & landers
because the surfaces are extremely rough) until you see a ship
orbiting 1 of them.  Goto the ship & make allies with them,
they are the Melnorme.  They are very useful.  The Rainbow
worlds listed above give you 500 Credit points each with these
traders, and on average you get 2 Credit points each for each
biological you bring to them.  Now return to the Starbase &
fill up on fuel & crew.
     You should have receive another file that has all of the
Quasi space co-ordinates in it as well as this one when you
got the archive, the file was called SC2QMAP.AXE, if you
didn't get it leave some mail to Werewolf on Dave's Place BBS. 
There is much you can do now with using little fuel because of
the portal spawner, so first goto as many of the Rainbow
Worlds as you can & get as much technical investments as you
can from the Melnorme.  They are invaluable.  With what is
left over you can buy information.  Do not forget that just
because you know it from here means that you know it in the
game, you must learn the information in the game, so always go
back to the Melnorme & buy information whenever you can until
you exhaust their supply of it.  Goto Arcturus using Quasi
space & get the Burvixese Caster, now you will be able to call
the Melnorme anywhere in Hyperspace.  When you are running low
on fuel, you can either save some of your credit points with
the Melnorme & go back to the Starbase to refuel, or call the
Melnorme & buy some of their fuel.  I saved my credit points
until I had bought everything that the Melnorme were willing
to sell.
     Anyway once you have all of the technological investments
of the Melnorme you can go back to the Rainbow worlds & get
all of the minerals on them, which you couldn't do before
without losing some crew.  Also go around to each planet & get
as many minerals as you can.
     Right, now for the fun bit.  Once you have returned to
starbase & have setup your ship as much as you want to/as much
as you can at the time, goto the Pkunk & get the Clear
Spindle.  During the course of the game they will start moving
towards the Yehat, if they do you can stop them twice, but
that is it.  Do not worry too much when they are annihilated
by the Yehat.  Also if you destroy all of their ships you can
go back to their home-world and they will give you more.  If
the Zot-Fot-Pik have called for help go help them, but be
warned it is a black Kohr-Ah ship & they are hard to kill.  I
found it easiest to use the Spathi Eluder to dodge his mines &
outrun the ring of fire.  Each time one of the Eluder's secret
weapons hit it took off 2 of the Kohr-Ah's crew.  Goto the
Spathi & rid their home planet of the beasts that have been
killing them.  Do NOT let them party, tell them you want the
alliance to start now.  Goto the Zot-Fot-Pik & see if they
have any more information to give you.  Goto the Umgah's home
planet, destroy the 10 Umgah ships that are sent to get you,
then take the Talking Pet on board.  If you have (& you should
have it by now) the Taalo shield you should be right.  Talk to
the Umgah on their home planet again, get the ships that they
give you, get them to tell you any secrets they have as well,
get the 500 units of biological data that they give you, then
run away using the [Esc] key.  Otherwise after a while they
will destroy you.  Get the beast that the VUX Admiral wants
and take it too him, but while you are there go visit the
Supox & the Utwig & get the Ultron.  You can also goto the
home planet of the Red Probes if you have enough fuel.  Don't
forget to use the portal spawner.  Goto the Thraddash & send
them into the Ur-Quan & Kohr-Ah space.  When they come out sit
in a system and kill them as they attack you.  They are easy
enough to kill, and you must kill a moderate amount of them
before they will become you allies so you can get the Aqua
Helix.  Now go back to Alpha Cerenkov I & give the Admiral his
beast, after that go down to the planet & get the Shofixti
maidens.  Go to the Shofixti home system & insult the Shofixti
warrior (no-kidding this is what you do).  He will attack
anyway, do NOT fire as it will only take 1 shot to kill him &
he is the last surviving Shofixti male.  Use your escape
thrusters ([Esc] key) to leave the battle field, since his
ship is pretty slow if you are on the opposite side of the
screen than him your 5 secs warming up would have finished &
you would have left by the time he reaches you.  Continually
do this (it takes about 3 - 5 goes) until he realises that you
aren't an Ur-Quan.  Give him the maidens.  Goto Beta
Copernicus I & get the Mycon Egg Shell, then goto Betelguese &
talk to the Syreen there, have sex with her if you want (I
did).  Show her the Mycon Egg Shell & then go & get the Syreen
ships.  Go back to Betelguese & have sex with her again if you
want (I did), then proceed to the Mycon's home planet (Epsilon
Scorpii I) & tell them about Organon.  When they start to move
goto Beta Brahe I & either Converse or Attack the Mycon their. 
It doesn't matter you end up attacking them anyway.  I found
it best to use the Arilou ships for this because they are
faster than the Mycon & the Mycon's weapons & because they are
inertialess they are easy to control.  Their self-guiding
laser makes it easy to just run rings around the Mycon
(avoiding going in front of its weapon) and continually
firing.  Plus you can cause the Mycon's weapons to turn around
and hit the Mycon itself if you want.  Anyway, once they have
been destroyed scan the planet and get the Mycon Sun Device. 
Next stop is the Druuge.  Goto Zeta Persei I & trade with
them.  You will find it unnecessary to give them crew, give
them something else (keep the Burvixese Caster if you can),
and then get the Rosy Sphere.  As far as I know everything
else they have is junk.  Leave the system & goto the Device
Menu in the Manifest.  You should have the Broken Ultron,
Clear Spindle, Aqua Helix, & Rosy Sphere.  If you select the
Clear Spindle, Aqua Helix, & Rosy Sphere they will be used to
fix the Ultron.  Take it back to the Utwig & they will tell
you the whereabouts of their Bomb, and tell you that you can
have it.  Go to the place mentioned, you will find 5 Druuge
ships there.  Talk to them, then attack them.  They are
moderately easy to destroy but watch that weapon, it can
inflict grevious damage to your crew.
     By now when you go back to the Starbase you should have
Shofixti warriors there.  Get one of their ships & then goto
Yehat space.  Talk to them, and then show them the Shofixti
warrior.  Do not go back as you will be attacked.  By now the
Spathi's sphere of infuence will have vanished.  If not then
wait a little longer, always checking the starmap to see if it
has.  When it does disappear goto the Spathi home planet's
moon, and get the Umgah Caster there.  Now goto the Ilwrathi's
home system (system NOT planet) & use the Umgah Caster.  Tell
them to leave the Pkunk alone & go attack someone else.  They
shall go & attack the Thraddash.  
     As soon as they start moving goto Procyon II and use the
Burvixese or the Umgah Caster (I used the Burvixese just to be
different - but either one will do) to talk to the Chmmr (not
fully formed yet) through the slave shield.  When they stop
communicating use the Mycon Sun Device.  
     From there on in there isn't much more to do.  Once you
have outfitted your ship, and re-assigned your escorts to
whatever you want, goto Delta Crateris VI.  I know there is a
ring of Ur-Quan & Kohr-Ah ships (predominantly Ur-Quan, but
when the Kohr-Ah win the war it is predominantely Kohr-Ah)
circling the planet, so go into the orbit of either planet VI
or VII.  When you come out of orbit you will find that they
have moved to the bottom of the screen.  Quickly zip over to
planet V as they come back pretty quick.  Now goto the Device
Menu in the Manifest & talk to the Talking Pet.  Tell him to
do his stuff, and then you go over to the Sa-Matra circling
the planet.  You will have to fight off 6 ships.  3 Ur-Quan &
3 Kohr-Ah, do not worry if you use all of your ships doing
this, in fact it is preferred (as long as you don't bring in
your flag-ship & try & use that).  After that you will talk to
some Yehat, who will give you some of their ships + some Pkunk
ships.  When fighting the Sa-Matra, use the Pkunk.  Not only
can it outrun the fireballs & green energy balls that are
launched at you, but because it fires sideways you can cirlce
around the Sa-Matra straffing the force-field generators.  Do
not try to destroy the fireballs & green energy balls because
if any of the generators are still active then they will be
re-created & launched again.  Wait until they have all been
destroyed then use some Yehat ships to wipe out the fireballs
& green energy balls.  If you think that you are losing too
many Yehat ships trying to do this bring in any spares that
you had left over from fighting the Ur-Quan & Kohr-Ah before. 
Waste them weakening the fireballs & energy blasts rather than
the Yehat.  Eventually you will destroy them all (there is
only 4 or 5 green enery balls & 3 fireballs anyway).  Use your
escape warp drive then (the [Esc] key) so that you can bring
in your flagship.  Bring it in to the hole where the force-
field use to be, and touch it against the hole.
     The rest, as they say, is history .. that is it is
completely animated.  Watch the closing credits too they are
quite funny.  I hope you enjoyed this game as much as I did. 
If you are having any problems leave mail to Werewolf on
Dave's Place BBS.  

Later dudes & dudettes ... <|=]
