It's the year 2351, and you're a pilot trying to rise through the ranks all the way to glory. As a member of the Galactic Federation, you'll be granted more than 20 weapons to use in each pass-fail mission. Your goal is to defend the planet from attacking alien forces, and you'll put your skills into play across more than 30 campaigns. There's a huge list of aircraft for you to tame ranging from helicopters and planes to high-tech hovercraft. With 100 vehicles in all, deadly enemies, and 3D graphics, ECHELON is one far out trip through the solar system.
