In 1 BBY, under orders from Darth Vader, the ship and its crew arrived at the planet Meglumine to retrieve materials related to the Blackwing virus.
They were to take the materials to a testing facility at the planet Khonji Seven. However, one of the tanks containing the virus breached as the ship traveled into the Mid Rim, infecting the majority of the crew and mutating them into mindless creatures. At least 46,700 Imperial personnel, including 9,700 stormtroopers, had been traveling on board the Vector, and almost all were killed by the virus. Thirty men, including Commander Gorrister, managed to seal themselves off in one section of the ship and took refuge in the shuttle Freebird. Ten weeks later, the prison barge Purge happened across the vessel, having suffered damage to its engines. A team from the barge, led by Captain of the Guard Jareth Sartoris, boarded Vector to salvage components from the ship's engines. Within hours of the crew returning to Purge, however, the majority of the barge's population also contracted the virus. With no chance of escape on the crippled barge, the survivors of the prison ship boarded Vector in an attempt to utilize it as an escape vessel.
Of the six survivors who left the Purge and entered the Star Destroyer, only four escaped. Vector is one of the primary settings of the novel Death Troopers, written by Joe Schreiber. The ship is unnamed in the actual novel, but is mentioned in the in-universe Twitter account of an Imperial Stormtrooper set up prior to the book's release, detailing his life on-board the Vector prior to the events described in the novel. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 Vader: The Ultimate Guide ↑ 2.0 2.1 Masters of the Force ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 Death Troopers Star Wars is an arcade game produced by Atari Inc. and released in 1983.[2] The game is a first person space combat game, simulating the attack on the Death Star from the 1977 film Star Wars. The game is composed of 3D color vector graphics. This game was developed during the Golden Age of Arcade Games and is considered the #4 most popular game of all time according to the readers of Killer List of Videogames. The player assumes the role of Luke Skywalker ("Red Five"), as he pilots an X-wing fighter from a first-person perspective.
Unlike other arcade games of similar nature, the player does not have to destroy every enemy in order to advance through the game; he must simply survive as his fighter flies through the level, which most often means he must avoid or destroy the shots that enemies fire. Each hit on his craft takes away one shield (of the six he started out with), and if he runs out of shields and takes another hit, the game ends. The player's ultimate goal is to destroy the Death Star through three attack phases. The game then resets to the first phase. Each successive Death Star run greatly increases the difficulty; TIE Fighters shoot more often, laser towers appear in the second round, and obstacles appear in the trench run. Unlike the movie, where the units shoot beams similar to lasers, the enemy units in this game shoot projectiles resembling fireballs, in order to give the player a chance to destroy the shots. The game features several digitized samples of voices from the movie, including Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi, James Earl Jones as Darth Vader, Harrison Ford as Han Solo, the mechanized beeps of R2-D2, and the growls of Chewbacca.
The game is available as a standard upright or a sit-down cockpit version, both of which are elaborately decorated. The controls consist of a yoke control with four buttons — two trigger style and two in position to be pressed by the thumbs — each of which fired a laser positioned on the four leading edges of the X-Wings. After the TIE fighter waves, when flying towards the Death Star, the yellow grid lines on the Death Star spell out either "MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU" on odd-numbered waves or names of some of the developers on even numbered waves. This game can be converted into The Empire Strikes Back via a conversion kit. In 1984 Robert Mruczek scored 300 million points in 49 hours of gameplay (the world record for an individual) and in 2005, Brandon Erickson set a world endurance record of 54 hours on a single credit (with a score of 283 million).[4] In June 1985 Flavio Tozzi, Dave Roberts and Mike Ohren played as a team in turns for five days, two hours and 26 minutes on a single credit to attain the world record score of 1,000,000,012 points.
It was featured on Yorkshire Television and was verified in the September 1985 edition of the UK Computer and Video Games magazine. Their efforts raised money for a local charity.[5] The score counter of this game "turns over" at 100 million points. Because of the fact that a number of skilled players could play indefinitely on the factory settings, it was decided to put the machines on a harder setting for the annual Twin Galaxies International Scoreboard/Guinness Book Masters Tournament, where the player would have six initial shields but NO bonus shields, and thus the game would be a test of skill rather than endurance. In the 1986 Tournament, David Palmer scored 31,660,614 points on that setting (in approx. 7 hours), a score which was subsequently published in the Guinness Book of World Records and which remains the world record to this day. The game was originally designed for the arcade by Mike Hally.[7] It was converted first by Parker Brothers in 1983 and 1984 to numerous 8-bit consoles and computers.
These include the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, the Atari 8-bit family, ColecoVision and Commodore 64. The home console version for the ColecoVision was designed by Wendell Brown.[8] The Atari 5200 version is infamous for its commercial, in which a guy overreacts while playing the game, telling the cashier at the video game store he's in that it was "some game!". Acorn Electron conversion by Vektor Grafix The same game was converted again, in 1987 and 1988, for the Amiga, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, Acorn Electron, BBC Micro and Enterprise 64; the game was also converted again for the Atari 8-bits and the Commodore 64. All conversions were developed by UK-based Vektor Grafix (the Atari 8-bit version by Zeppelin Games being an exception) and were published in Europe by Domark. That same year Brøderbund acquired the rights to develop Star Wars games from Lucasfilm. Brøderbund published the Apple II, Apple Macintosh, Commodore 64 and DOS versions of the arcade game in North America in 1988.
The Amiga and Atari ST versions are very similar to the arcade original. They allow the ability to use mouse control and feature digitized sound effects. The Macintosh version contains sampled speech from the films, but has no in-game music other than a monophonic theme during the "attract" mode. This game, along with The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, was also included as an unlockable extra in the Nintendo GameCube game Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike. In the United States and some European countries, customers could get the GameCube version of the game for free when they pre-ordered Rebel Strike. The game was one of the top selling games of 1983, as Atari produced 12,695 total units. praised the Atari ST version of Star Wars, calling it "amazing, smoothly animated".[9] The DOS, Amiga, Atari ST, and Commodore 64 versions by Broderbund Software were reviewed in 1989 in Dragon #145 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column.
