The scenarios are as follows:


THE DIPLOMACY FACTOR
--------------------

Upon the discovery of space flight, Emperor Kaxal forcedly built many
colonial starships, although many were destroyed in space due to comets,
in the hope of colonizing new planets and 'seeking out new life'. However,
no new life was found and Emperor Kaxal thought that the Klackon race must
have been the only intelligent form of life in the Universe. He therefore 
felt no need to build any more starships, and began to bently terraform and
industrialize his planets. 
However, soon contact was made with the Silicoid and Alkari Empires, and 
later the Psilon Empire. Huge conflicts occurred, and Emperor Kaxal decided
to put all of his resources into spying activities, making his colonies into
complete dumpsites.
Soon what little starships he had created before his priorities changed were
destroyed completely by the Silicoid space fleet.
Now, with sparsely populated planets, wars on all fronts and a non-existent 
fleet, Emperor Kaxal (you) faces the challenge of rebuilding his fallen
empire and maybe even obtaining galactic domination...

Difficulty level:       VERY HARD
(Race:                  KLACKON)


DUEL
----

The Universe may be big, but this does not necessarily mean that there
are endless numbers of races. Emperor Guanar, for example, even though he
explored the Universe to a very full extent, only managed to find one race:
the Psilons. However, this was no pleasant meeting. Immediately, wars broke
out of hand, and the struggle for the legendary planet of Orion started.
Emperor Guanar himself managed to procure this wonder, but even with this
the Psilon race still held the superior status.
Now, with Orion, an advanced cache of weapons, and a steadily growing
starfleet, it is time for Emperor Guanar (you) to take control, and rid the
Universe of the infidel Psilons!

Difficulty:             EASY
(Race:                  SAKKRA)


DECEPTION
---------

Emeperor Dominic has been noted as one of the most successful leaders of
all time. This episode just proves that point... or does it?
Having built up a star empire which out-rivals any of those known to exist,
Emperor Dominic has been the envy of every other leader. Perhaps this is
why his diplomatic relations are so tense at this point in time.
Although Emperor Dominic's Klackon Empire is the most powerful to date, 
should the many smaller empires ally together and challenge him, a certain
challenge would await. Emperor Dominic (you) had better either build up
his army to fight his foes, or make peace with them to prevent a disastrous
conflict, and possible loss.

Difficulty:             VERY EASY
(Race:                  KLACKON)
