You are brave, powerful, resourceful. In addition to defending your Command Ship in high space, you must seize opportunities to fly down to air space just above the planet to destroy the Gian and Flash speeders! Neither the Naboo or the Queen’s Starship can be a match for you. The power of the Trade Federation must and will reign supreme! All enemies must be destroyed! YOUR DROID FIGHTER 2. YOUR MISSION There are 5 stage missions. The object of the game is to protect your Droid Command Ship through all 5 stages of Naboo air attacks. You must also seize your opportunities to swoop down to the surface and blast away at the Gian and Flash speeders! If you can last through all 5 stage missions, supremacy will be yours!

It takes two laser hits to knock out a GIAN OR FLASH SPEEDER. (Torpedo hits will not work against the Gian or Flash speeders.) Please remember that the Queen’s Starship does not FIRE on you. But it will do every evasive maneuver it can think of to stay out of your path of fire. Your ship has a shield meter of 6 segments in the top center of the screen. 4 hits from enemy fire and 2 segments in the shield meter is lost. Once all segments are gone, the ship is lost and the game is over. When you run out of shield units, you will be unable to defend your Command Ship.
