Description
Until recently you were an elite Star Fighter Pilot. On your last mission, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. You've been demoted to Garbage Scow Captain, and you're now tasked with keeping the hyperspace lanes clear of debris ... in an unarmed garbage scow. Use the scow's thruster wake to push debris out of the lanes. Anything caught in the wake will move in the opposite direction of your ship. Mind the Nebulorcas that feed in the hyperspace lanes, as well as the occasional hostile fighter craft (the galaxy is at war, after all), and maybe - just maybe, you'll get out of this alive.
