The back of the Starglider 2 box says:

2 years have passed since the Egron's unsuccessful invasion of Novenia. The wreckage of commander Hermann Kruud's awesome StarGlider fleet lies scattered across the post-nuclear wastelands of the once beautiful planet.

The heroes who liberated Novenia in the museum-piece fighter are now leading very separate lives...Jaysan is living it up in luxury and generally enjoying himself, while Katra is helping Novenia's massive redevelopment project.

One day, news of the gravest importance reaches the High Council - the Egrons are gearing up to remove the thorn of Novenia from the Emperor's side once and for all. The Imperial Prator has decided to build a giant beam projector around the planet Millway, and point it right at Novenia.

Jaysan reluctantly agrees to join Katra on a daring mission to destroy the beam projector's components before they can be assembled.

The game came packaged with a fold-out A5 poster of the box artwork, a single disk, a cassette (featuring the original longer version of the Dave Lowe title music sampled in the game), a small playguide, a small keyguide, and a novella by James Follett.

By the time the PC conversion was ready to be published, Rainbird had been acquired by Microprose, and they decided to publish the game in the US under the MicroPlay label.
