Centuries have passed since the time when "The Unknown Resistance" tried to send four giant asteroids at our home planet. At the space shuttle academy, us cadets are frequently told of the great deeds of the legendary hero pilot and how he crushed the resistance with nothing but a single shuttle. But lately a rumor has made its way around among the cadets. "The Unknown Resistance" have once again started to move and are stirring up trouble ever closer to our home planet.

As a last year cadet I will soon soar across the sky, just like the legendary hero pilot. Even though I am enthusiastic for my graduation, the current galactic situation is no doubt a cause for concern. Will the graduating cadets of my year be enough to fill the void in our navy? Will our home planet be able to repay our debt to higher powers? Will I too be able to defeat "The Unknown Resistance" if the time would come?

SEG Space shuttle II is the long awaited sequel to the intense retro experience of SEG Space shuttle.
