I'll talk about a person which I've met when I was young.
In 198X we've found Nazz's top secret material called Abatros, a plan which
never was put to practice.
Imperial forces Generalissimo Killt had never seen this plan, and decided to
materialize this plan.
The federation decided to stop his attempt by sending our hero Super Joe, but
lost contact with him.
Our brave man (you the player) was sent to the empire with a special mission
to rescue Super Joe, this story begins from here...
