Arm’s expansion into the new star sector has just begun while Core follows closely. However, both arrives and met on a lava-covered planet with no creatures alive.
Hot rivers of liquid rock block the whole transport system of both sides, and the consequent lack of mechanical materials hampers the production of high-tech weapons. A battle, which is low-grade but still fierce, is doomed to come.

Destroy all enemy factories.
Loose Condition: Loose all units.

Karganeth, a super kbot built with a new kind of metal alloy, is even indestructable by d-gun shots. The weapons installed on a single Karganeth can easily take out hordes of enemies within seconds. High tech chips loaded with essence of Core’s development through the history are activated inside Karganeth brain. It stands for Core’s victory and glory.
