Satellites circle your planet on three rotating orbits. Place lasers, missiles and shields, upgrade them with credits from every kill, and stop each drone wave before it breaks through.

Orbital mechanics

Satellites keep moving, so coverage shifts as they circle.

Three satellite roles

Lasers for speed, missiles for swarms, shields for the planet.

Know what is coming

Every wave is previewed with its drone types and approach lanes, so you can build where it matters.
