With the help of your galactic map, you can find the sectors of the galaxy where these fighters are located and then warp there to destroy them.
When all of the fighters in a sector are destroyed, you can warp to a new location for the next battle.
Be sure to keep an eye on your starship's energy level; warping to new locations, being hit by enemy fire, or colliding with an asteroid will drain your energy.
If you completely run out of energy, your starship will be destroyed, however you can warp back to a starbase to refuel at any time.
Returning to a starbase will also repair other types of damage your starship can receive, such as faulty engines, loss of your shields, and faulty photon torpedoes.
When all of the enemy ships have been destroyed, you win the game and receive a rank.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
