*Selected messages from sample info*
This is the piss butchered version if the ingame music
I guess they will use this one...
I guess this will be my last Amiga project for Gremlin as they have decided to get their own in house muso...
By the way this tune is (c) Barry Leitch
not Gremlin or ID...
Its called artistic copyright, this code version is (c) ID.
The actual melody etc is (c) me !
So if this gets converted to the SNES or Sega by someone else then I will be owed money....
I kid ye not...
I didn't believe it when I first heard it but its true ! : and I will sue....
Feel free to rip this

*Space Crusade - The Story*
_The Imperium_
More than 25 millennia ago mankind took the first tentative steps to the stars. With the discovery of the Warp drive came the Great Expansion. What was once a journey of several centuries became a journey of several days.

_Warp Space_
Warp space is the parallel universe through which starships may jump, travelling hundreds of thousands of light years in a few hours. Warp space is also the domain of Chaos. In Warp space nothing may be taken for granted. It is a universe filled with cross-currents, eddies and whirlpools of power. Ships have disappeared without reason, and emerged from the Warp centuries after they entered it, millions of light years from their destination. These derelict starships, distorted beyond all recognition, are known as space hulks.

_The Age of Strife_
During the Great Expansion man reached ever further into the stars. In time the hidden power of the Warp came to be noticed. By entering Warp space man had awoken an ancient evil: the minions of Chaos had escaped the Warp. The first great war known as the Age of Strife, had begun.

For more than five thousand years, warfare wracked mankind, nation battled with nation, planet fought planet, system destroyed system. Abandoned colonies perished by the scores whilst aliens plundered and grew fat on the wreck of humanity.

Then came a saviour. The Age of Strife, arguably the greatest time of peril man has ever faced, brought forth the greatest man history has recorded - the man who would be known as the Emperor Of Human Spaee. A shrewd diplomat, he gathered the fragments of human society and formed them into the Empire. A brilliant soldier, he conquered and reclaimed the worlds lost to Chaos. For this task he created the space marines, the greatest warriors of all.

The Legiones Asartes is the official title of the warrior organisation known as the space marines. Its warriors are acknowledged as the most powerful and feared fighting men in the Imperium.

In numerical terms the space marines are a small force, but their superhuman ability and fearsome reputation make them worth many times their own number in conventional troops. They are held in are throughout the Empire.

Space marines are organised into self-contained chapters, each with its own fleet. A chapter's fleet provides accommodation, training facilities, machine shops, armories, shuttle silos and every other facility the chapter requires. The fleet roams through the galaxy in pursuit of the enemies of mankind. Task forces break away from it for individual missions or campaigns, and rejoin the fleet when their mission is accomplished.

_Space Marine Equipment_
Space marines have access to the full range of Imperial weaponry and equipment. The distinctive space marine you armour protects them in all environments and is capable of withstanding direct hits from all but the most powerful weapons. The standard space marine weapon is the bolt gun or the bolter. This is a devastating automatic weapon, which fits small-calibre explosive shells. The main close-assault weapon is the bolt pistol, a smaller version of the bolter that because of size is ideal for hand-to-hand fighting. The space marines also have a number of heavy weapons that may be employed when greater firepower is needed for a mission.
