Interceptor is a game of space fighter combat for two or more players. Interceptor is set in the Aetherstream universe where the Terran Commonwealth once unified all humanity. Following the Vanishing, in which the Earth and its solar system simply disappeared, panic and greed took hold. Now the last remnant of the Commonwealth is trying to reclaim its past glory. The Callistonian Empire, led by its enigmatic Imperatrix, is the first target of this renewed aggression. In Interceptor, the fighter is the main space superiority weapon and their pilots are the holovid heroes of the day.
