Shock Wave © 1995 Altare Advanced Technologies.

You are Wildcard, a rookie pilot that has just been transferred to the Omaha, a space station orbiting the Earth. Suddenly, the Omaha's radar screens are filled with thousands of unidentified objects, and communications between the station and Earth are apparently being jammed. The only course of action is for the Omaha to launch its own strike against the aliens and hope for the best.
