Why This Was Made       : Because Princess Inada Is Scolding Me

===========================================================================

The Story   : It is the year 5000 SUPER A.D! Galactic War XII has finally come to an end.
              After twelve bloody and devastating wars humanity as finally conquered its 
              most evil foe yet. Dust!

You are Doomgirl Kirisame, an SS Ranked Space Marine Uber-Witch, together with
              your best friend Liam Neeson (trained Anti-Dust Priest), a team of irritable
              biologists from the planet Tasicore VI, and the Hoover Aerospace S.S. Guingol
              (the Universe's largest vacuum dreadnought), you helped pave the way for mankind's
              glorious conquest over the dastardly adversary.

Having earned a little R&R, you head to Bermuda with Liam Neeson to kick back
              and enjoy the local custom: high-stakes gambling in the Arena of Trigonometry.

Unfortunately before you can indulge in any of that much needed vacation, a local
              lobster merchant approaches you, angered by the fact that your last name uses two 
              of the same vowel. He begins assaulting you with his collection of antique canvases.
               You plead with the peddler of crustaceans to relent from his fabric onslaught, but 
              your attempts to dissuade him are to no avail. Left with no other option, you
              tie him to a large skillet and fry him in the hot tropical sun.

Unbeknownst to you, this was no ordinary purveyor of sea creatures but
              a descendant of former Bulgarian thespian Anton Gorchev. A mere actor in
              life, but a 9th Level Mega-Deluxe Necromancer in death. Angered by the
              death of his kin he vows to take revenge on you. Appearing in a spectral
              form in your hotel room at night and aided by his army of random demons,
              he kidnaps Liam Neeson and tells you he plans to hijack the Super Dreadnought
              Guingol to unleash all the dust currently held in its tanks back into the
              galaxy as punishment for slaying one from the house of Gorchev.

"Oh it's on!" you scream like a torrent of psychopathic babies. You rush to
              your command center and assemble your crack team.

Denzel Washington the Science Guy (Created when Denzel Washington and Bill Nye 
              did the fusion dance in order to solve the Rotation Crisis of 4082), Chambo 
              (Chinese Rambo),  Nuclear Man (with the power to explode), Fizbitch 
              (the soda assassin), Fifteen Time Ultra Heavy Weight Sumo Champion and
              Largest Man in the World - Ragefist Smashdick (master of stealth and recon),
              16 other non-important guys (and girls), and the Nintendo Omnibus.

Denzel reports that Gorchev has retreated to his hidden palace located
              deep within the one realm all humans fear to tread. The Sun. Fortunately
              you know one way to deal with that. While the extreme loudness of the sound
              of nuclear fusion would normally prevent anyone but a undead Bulgarian
              from entering the Sun, you happen to have an ace up your sleeve. Located in
              the Super Future is the Universe's soundboard where the volume can be reduced
              to safe levels. Before you can depart however a new threat has appeared.

Gorchev has deployed The Spider Mastermind to Lunar Asia (Asia was removed 
              from Earth and placed on the Moon in 4130 because everyone was tired of their crap). 
              Burdened by the supreme fatness of the beast the Moon has been sent on a
              collision course with the Earth.
              
              You gather your crack team and head to the fastest way to get to the
              moon to slay the Mega Spider Bitch(TM). The space catapult in Norway...

P.S. your entire squad dies in seconds.

                      Can also stunlock easily.
                      Increased range in Eternity due to melee combat differences between ports.
Pistol -              More accurate. 
                      Fires faster. 
                      Has to reload after every 15 shots.
Rifle -               Fires burst of 5 bullets. 
                      Highly accurate, does as much damage as a normal SG shot. Fires faster than SG.
Almost SSG -          Fires 16 pellets. 
                      More accurate than the SSG.
