""
"This is a game of galactic conflict between the starship"
"ENTERPRISE and a surly horde of Klingon Destroyers.  You"
"are the Captain in charge of the Enterprise and it is your"
"duty to eradicate the Klingon menace from the galaxy."
""
"The galaxy is divided into 64 quadrants in the form of an"
"8x8 grid.  Each quadrant is further subdivided into an 8x8"
"array of 64 sectors.  This is the shape of the playing field."
""
"You will be assigned a starting point somewhere in the gal-"
"axy to begin a tour of duty.  You have at your disposal the"
"wisdom of the officers of the Starship Enterprise to guide"
"you as you unleash the full destructive capabilities of the"
"Enterprise in your eternal quest for peace in the galaxy."
"Here are the commands that are available to you:"
""
"N-AVIGATE"
""
"This command is used to control your warp drive (FTL).  There"
"are two variables that you must set in order to use your warp"
"drive.  The first is the direction.  This is set by entering"
"a number greater than or equal to one and less than nine."
"the numbers represent the following directions:"
""
"                   4     5     6"
""
"                      \  I  /"
""
"                   3 -   E   - 7"
""
"                      /  I  \"
""
"                   2     1     8"
""
"The second variable is the distance or warp factor.  One warp "
"factor is the size of one quadrant.  The warp factor must be"
"entered as a decimal fraction to move sectors instead of quad-"
"rants."
""
"S-HORT RANGE SCAN"
""
"This readout shows you a scan of every sector of the quadrant"
"that your are in.  The symbology is as follows:"
""
"                  . = Empty Space"
"                  * = A Star"
"                  K = A Klingon Warship"
"                  B = A Friendly Starbase"
"                  ? = Spacecrud"
"                  E = The Enterprise"
""
"The short range scan will also give a status report including the"
"current condition code.  The codes are as follows:"
""
"                  GREEN    = Scanners Clear"
"                  YELLOW   = Enterprise Energy Low"
"                  ORANGE   = One Klingon in Quadrant"
"                  RED      = More Than One Klingon in Quadrant"
""
""
"L-ONG RANGE SCAN"
""
"This scan shows the conditions in space for one quadrant on each"
"side of your present quadrant (which is in the middle of the scan)."
"The scan is coded such that the units digit is the number of stars,"
"the tens digit is the number of starbases and the hundreds digit is"
"the number of Klingons.  For example:"
""
"                  207  =  2 Klingons, no bases, 7 stars"
""
"When you issue a Long Range Scan, the data collected is stored in "
"the Galactic Map for access through the Enterprise's central com-"
"puter (See 'C')."
""
""
"P-HASER CONTROL"
""
"Phasers are concentrated bursts of coherent energy that have great"
"disruptive force at close range.  They can be effective against"
"several targets at once, and are very fast at firing.  You can set"
"the amount of energy to use in a single burst but it is easy to"
"use up all of your energy if you are not prudent."
""
""
"T-ORPEDO CONTROL"
""
"You may fire Photon Torpedoes at the Klingons with this command.  You"
"must set the torpedo course in the same way it is set for the star-"
"ship.  Torpedoes take longer to unlimber and give the Klingons more"
"opportunity for counter-attacks.  Aiming is greatly enhanced through"
"the use of the central computer (See 'C')."
""
""
"E-NGINEERING"
""
"The 'E' command will put you in touch with the engineering section"
"of the Enterprise and they will allow you to set the amount of energy"
"that you wish to divert into your shields.  Every time you are hit"
"by enemy phaser fire your shields will be reduced.  If they fall too"
"low the damage you suffer will be severe.  It is a good idea to set"
"them high before going into battle.  If you attempt a warp that is"
"consuming a lot of energy, engineering will transfer some shield power"
"to the warp drives.  When you leave a starbase your shields will be at"
"zero, so don't forget to reset them."
""
""
""
""
"D-AMAGE CONTROL"
""
"Damage control will give a numerical status report on the various"
"sensitive devices on board.  A positive number indicates that the"
"device is still operational.  A negative number shows that the device"
"is not functioning.  Sometimes a particular device can sustain sev-"
"eral hits and still remain positive (functional).  If the 'D' com-"
"mand is issued when the Enterprise is docked, it will serve as a"
"summons to the repair facilities of the starbase.  The Base repair-"
"persons will fix all non-functional equipment on board but they do"
"consume precious time."
""
""
"C-OMPUTER"
""
"This command will put you in direct communications with the central"
"computer, an 8080 based system.  There are five options available:"
""
"              1   =   Galactic Map.  This is a print of the entire"
"                      galaxy similar to a long range scan.  Data is"
"                      entered in the G-Map by the 'L' command."
""
"              2   =   Status Report.  This tells the time remaining"
"                      the number of starbases remaining and the num-"
"                      ber of Klingons remaining."
""
"              3   =   Torpedo Target Data.  This will give the direc-"
"                      tion and distance to all Klingons in the quad-"
"                      rant.  The direction may be used for firing"
"                      photon torpedoes."
""
"              4   =   Starbase Navigation Data.  This will give the"
"                      direction and distance to the starbase in the"
"                      quadrant."
""
"              5   =   Navigator.  This will assist you in calculating"
"                      the direction and distance to and from any quad-"
"                      rant or sector in the galaxy."
