Space station "Deep Space Nine" has been invaded by "Cardasians", and the mission is take them out. You should go to "OPS" where there are the main controls of the space station with enough attack counters to defeat "Cardasians". There you can drive it and all their systems. The winner become the Space station Commander.
Each player has a pawns and a set of "attack counters" of the same color that start at SA box at external ring. The goal is to move the pawns around the board to the "OPS" at the center of the board.
Movement is controlled by dice. During movement you should get "attack counters" entering at "Cardasian Police" boxes. All players move around the three parts of the same board, so they may capture each others pawns. Captured pawns are returned to start box ("SA"). You can only move in the same direction until you enter in a "P" box (bridge boxes). From external ring, you should use "LR" box (runebounds shuttle boxes) to go to internal ring. Then, in order to go to central laberynth, you should enter at "P1" boxes with the exact number. Whether you fail, your pawn shuold come back by central gallery to "SA" start box, and you should start the attack again!
The winner is the first player to move his pawn to "OPS" box. He shall be shuttle Commander. The second one shall be the Captain and the third one the lieutenant. Both players shall meet a minimum attack counters (4 & 3 ones).
