IN THE BEGINNING...

...were the Spirits. And the Spirits created the Worlds. And in
their own image, Man to walk upon the Worlds. The Spirits
watched from afar as Man grew and became curious; a
thirst to discover the far side of the horizon blossomed in his
breast. As Man grew, he explored; as he explored, he grew.
He grew until the worlds were full.

When the worlds could no longer sustain him, Man created

the Frames and in his multitudes, in the Frames he lived.

And in the Frames he rotted.

Seeing the stagnation of Man in his ignorant self-

incarceration, the Spirits took pity upon their creation and
returned to him in corporeal form. Shining a light into the
future, the Spirits showed Man the Alpha and Omega of the
worlds and set him upon the path to his destiny. Thus speaks
the legend.

The Spirits are with us still. We, the people of the Exodus are
guided by their serenity and wisdom. Through the Terminals,
we hear their voice. By their prescient sight, shall we
achieve our destiny.

May the Spirits aid us. May the Spirits save us. May the
Spirits lead us home.

Using the Minimap
The Minimap gives you an overview of the battlezone, with each player
represented by different coloured markers.

Left-click anywhere on the Minimap to zoom the main view to that location
in the field of combat.

Terraforming
Zero-Layer Tool
Cancel Zero-Layer Tool
Ditch Tool

Terraforming is the heart of your strategy for blazing your path to your new home. In order to build,
extract energy from the ground with Energy Cores or install your Frame, the land must be graded
to the Zero-Layer required to support your nanotechnology.

To assign land to terraforming, left-click the Zero-Layer Tool in the

Terraform Palette. Next, left-click and drag on the ground to define
the area to be levelled. When you have finished assigning the
terraforming area, right-click anywhere on the ground to
return your pointer to normal.

Once an area has been allocated to terraforming, your Brigadiers (see Brigadiers & Buildmasters)
will send out their drones to level the ground to zero declination for building.

If you want to stop terraforming a defined area, click the Cancel Zero-Layer Tool in the Terraform
Palette. Click and drag over an area that has previously been assigned for terraforming to remove
it from the selection. Right-click anywhere on the ground to return to the normal pointer (you can’t
de-terraform land that has already been worked on by your Brigadiers).

Note: when buildings and other nanotech installations are destroyed, the resultant explosion
severely disrupts the zero-layer in a radius around it. You will need to re-terraform this ground
before you can build on it again.

7
Ditches for Defence
Ditches are an extremely useful aspect of terraforming. When you dig a ditch, your Brigadier’s
drones will cut right through the surface of the battlefield to create a gap that no land-based entity
can cross.

To create a ditch, left-click the Ditch Tool in the Terraform

Palette. Next, left-click on the ground where you want your
ditch to begin. Drag the mouse and you will see the ditch
selection area stretch in a straight line from the click-point
to your pointer. Left-click again to define a corner before
dragging on to create a further stretch of ditch. When you
have finished defining your ditch area, right-click to return
your pointer to normal.

Terraforming Strategy
Terraforming takes time! When you select the Zero-Layer Tool and move
it over the ground, you will see a number next to the tool that changes as
you move it. This number indicates the declination (height) of the land you
are pointing at; positive numbers indicate ground that is higher than zero,
negative numbers show land that is lower. Declination of land

The greater the deviation in surface level from zero, the longer it will take your Brigadier’s drones
to either cut it away or fill it in. Try to find ground that is close to zero declination so that you
achieve a viable surface for your buildings and generators as quickly as possible.

In addition, the larger area you assign to terraforming, the longer it will take to grade. Initially at
least, it is a good idea to terraform only the area of land that you really need to get your base
started and install your frame.

You can speed up terraforming by assigning more of your Multi-Modular Platforms to the Brigadier
function (see Brigadiers & Buildmasters). More Brigadiers equals more drones available for
terraforming and therefore a quicker job.

8
The FRAME
Managing the Frame
Within your Frame lives the community that is the last best hope for humanity’s survival.
If your Frame is destroyed, your journey to your new home is over.

Frame Command Palette

Install / de-install Frame Move

Stop

Alarm

Spiral charge
Moving the Frame
Though the Frame is relatively self-sustaining, moving it requires extra energy. You must have at
least one Energy Core built before you can move the Frame any distance. The distance that the
Frame can be moved is limited by the range of power transmission of the Core (see Energy
Generation & Usage). If the Frame needs to be moved a greater distance than that provided by
the range of the Energy Core, further Cores must be built to form a chain.

To move the Frame left-click it to select it, then right-click on the ground where you want it to
move (left-click on the ground after issuing the move command to de-select the Frame).

Installing the Frame & CHARGING THE SPIRAL

Deep inside the Frame resides the nanotech power source known as the Spiral. Its primary
function is to provide the enormous energy burst required to rip open the fabric of space when
interfacing with an Alpha or Omega Portal.

In order that the Alpha/Omega interface can be completed, the Spiral must be fully charged. It
reserves energy from any surplus produced by your power grid and must also be in direct contact
with the ground as such is the source of all your energy. You must install the Frame on the ground
to charge the Spiral.

Once installed the Frame can also supply a limited amount of energy to factories and buildings. Its
energy reserves are not limitless however and in order to construct a fully functioning base, you
will also need to erect extra Energy Cores.

To install your Frame, left-click on your Frame to select it, then left-click the “Install” icon on the
Command Palette. It must be over unoccupied terraformed ground (move it if necessary); if the
Frame can be installed its footprint will appear green, otherwise the footprint will be red.

9
Brigadiers & Buildmasters
MMP Palette Your Frame supports up to five Multi-Modular Platforms
(MMPs) that provide basic terraforming (Brigadiers) or
building functions (Buildmasters). To deploy an MMP,
left-click either a greyed-out Brigadier or Buildmaster
icon in the MMP Palette.

To ensure a balance between terraforming and building

functions you will need to have both Brigadiers and
Buildmasters on the ground. The more Brigadiers you
have, the faster terraforming will be completed; the more
Buildmasters you have, the quicker buildings will be
Brigadiers erected or upgraded.
Buildmasters

To convert a Brigadier into a MMP Command Palette

Buildmaster and vice-versa,
left-click an MMP or left-click Convert Move
an icon in the MMP Palette,
then left-click the Convert icon Repair Stop
in the Command Palette.
The MMP will return to the Return to Frame
Frame to be transformed into
its counterpart.

In an emergency, you can recall all of your MMPs to the sanctuary of the Frame by clicking the
Alarm icon on the Frame Command Palette.

Energy Generation & Usage
Core Command Palette
Raise/lower
Core’s Perimeter Shield

Stop/start charging

Remove

In order to extract power from the ground and supply your buildings, you must build Energy Cores.
To build an Energy Core, select the Buildings Palette and left-click the Energy Core icon. Your
pointer will change to a blueprint of the Core (see also Erecting Buildings). Move the Core
blueprint over the ground and left-click on terraformed unoccupied ground where you want to
build it (if you cannot build, the blueprint will change from green to red). (Unlike other buildings,
terraformed ground does not have to be charged to erect an Energy Core.) Your Buildmasters will
beam nanotech energy to the blueprint; when the blueprint has received enough energy from the
Buildmasters, the Energy Core will be erected.

ENERGY CORE Strategy

As you pass the Energy Core blueprint over the ground, you will notice a
pale blue circle around it. This represents the area that the Core will
draw energy from and can supply energy to. Once the Core is
built, this area is shown by a charged (reflective) circle of
terraformed ground around it.

Only a certain amount of energy can be drawn from any

Charge area
area of ground so, for maximum efficiency, try not to
overlap charge areas too much. However, do try to achieve Linking area
complete coverage with your Cores’ charge areas to ensure
reliable power supply to your buildings.

In order to feed power back to your Frame, all Energy Cores must be linked. Cores that are not
linked back to the Frame will not activate when built. As you pass the Energy Core blueprint over
the ground, the linking area of Cores that you have already built is displayed. Simply place the
blueprint of your new Energy Core within this linking area to ensure that a connection back to
the Frame is made.

CAPTURING ENERGY CORES

If you can cause a break in your enemy’s energy network, any of their Cores that become
disconnected can be co-opted into your own power grid. Provided you have a working Energy
Core close enough, any disconnected enemy Cores will be integrated into your system.

Using your Perimeter Field, you can also force a break in an enemy’s network. If you have
expanded your base close enough for your Perimeter Field to encompass one or more enemy
Cores, any Cores (or buildings) inside your Perimeter will be cut off and linked into your network.

11
Energy Transmission
If you want to distribute energy over a great distance (for example to claim abandoned
installations), Energy Transmitters may provide a better option than Energy Cores. Transmitters
do not draw energy from the ground and add to your energy reserves, but do have a much wider
linking area for the dispersal of energy.

Energy Storage
Your Frame stores up the energy you generate, but only a certain amount. To store extra energy for
when you need it (for example, when you need to erect your Perimeter Field), build Energy Collectors.

Energy Usage
Almost every action you undertake in the creation of your base and fighting units will use some
of your energy. Your overall energy usage is shown by the Energy Meter. If the Energy Meter is
shaded towards green, you are generating more energy than you are using, but if the Meter is
trending towards red, you are using more than you are generating (and may possibly run out).

If the Energy Meter is red and you are nearly out of energy you may need to take some emergency
action. Erect more Energy Cores on uncharged terraformed ground – though this will also incur an
initial energy cost, deactivate some Weapons Installations, or pause some building projects.

To see the specifics of your energy usage displayed in the bottom-right of the Main View, hold your
pointer over the Energy Meter.

12
Building Your Base
Waging a successful campaign depends Building Command Palette
on the strength of your base, both in terms
of its defence and its productivity. You will
need to build both laboratories and weapons Upgrade
installations to ensure your survival long
enough to achieve your objective and
continue your journey.
Remove
Each laboratory or plant you build adds
to your ability to create fighting units
and weapons installations.

See Appendix 1: Buildings & Weapon Installations for more details.

Constructing Buildings
Buildings Palette Left-click on a building icon on the Buildings Palette to activate
that building’s blueprint. Next, move the blueprint over the
ground in the Main View; if the ground is unsuitable for building,
the blueprint will be red. If the blueprint is green, left-click
again to place it on the ground for your Buildmasters to
construct (right-click to cancel the blueprint and return your
pointer to normal). Re-orient a blueprint by holding ß and
dragging with the mouse.

Buildings can be erected only on charged ground, except for

Energy Cores and Transmitters, which only require the ground
Available to be terraformed.
Blueprints
To cancel a building project before it is completed and reclaim
some of its nanotech energy, left-click the blueprint on the
ground to select it, then left-click the “Remove” icon in the
Command Palette. You can also reclaim energy from
completed buildings in this way. To simply pause a building
project, right-click the building’s icon on the Buildings Palette
(left-click the icon to restart building).

13
Building Power
Each building or weapons installation that you construct requires power to operate and adds
to your overall energy usage. In an energy emergency, you may want to conserve power by
deactivating one or more of your weapons installations. Left-click the building in the Main View
to select it, then left-click the “Power On/Off” icon in the Command Palette.

An icon is displayed over a building or weapons installation when it has no power:

Building is active, but Weapons installation

has no power to operate is disconnected

Upgrading Buildings
Advanced facilities improve your ability to make more aggressive and sophisticated fighting units
and weaponry.

To upgrade a building, left-click it to select it, then left-click the upgrade icon in the Command
Palette. Your Buildmasters will beam additional nanotech energy into the structure to elevate it to
the next level. The more advanced your structures become, the more energy will be required to
complete an upgrade.

Note: some buildings do not require upgrading.

REMOVing Buildings
Each structure can be deconstructed to reclaim some of its initial energy cost. To remove a
building, left-click it to select it, then left-click the “Remove” icon in the Command Palette.

Repairing Buildings
As you come under assault, it is inevitable that your buildings and weapons installations will be
damaged. If left unrepaired, it will be much easier for your enemies to destroy parts of your base in
future waves of attack. It is essential to repair damaged buildings to prevent their total destruction.
Though any Buildmasters in the area will automatically incorporate repairs into their programme,
you may wish to pre-empt their schedule by instigating repairs manually.

To repair a building or weapons installation, select one or more of your Buildmasters then
left-click the Repair icon in the Command Palette. Next, left-click the building to be repaired.
The Buildmaster will beam nanotech energy to the building or installation until it reaches
peak operational status.

14
Weapons Installations
Weapons Static defences are essential for the survival of your base.
Installations Palette
There are various types of weapons installations (see
Appendix 1: Buildings and Weapons Installations) that
become available as you construct and upgrade laboratories.
Each installation is effective against different types of threat,
so build wisely to ensure maximum coverage.

Weapons Installations are erected in the same way as other

buildings using the Weapons Installations Palette (see
Constructing Buildings). They must also be built within the
charge area of one of your Energy Cores in order to operate.
Available
Blueprints

Effective Range
Each Weapons Installation has a maximum and minimum
effective range that they can fire within. This is shown
around the blueprint when you have selected it from
the Weapons Installation Palette: the inner circle is
the minimum range, the outer circle is the maximum Minimum range
range. Select any constructed Installation to view the Maximum range
range of all of your base’s defences.

TARGETING WEAPONS
Weapons Command Palette

Power on/off

Remove Target

Although your Weapons Installations will automatically fire upon any enemy unit or building within
range, your strategy may call for specific targeting. To set a target, in the Main View select the
Weapons Installation you want to fire, then left-click the Target icon in the Weapons Command
Palette. Finally, left-click the enemy target.

15
BUILDING a Fighting Force
Basic Units
The soldier, officer and technician basic units form the basis of each of your nanomorphed fighting
units. Build the Soldier Plant, the Officer Plant and the Technician Plant so you can create your
basic units.

To make a basic unit, left-click its icon in the Basic Unit Palette. Click again to add units to the
Plant’s production schedule, or hold ß and click to add 10 units to the schedule. You can create
up to 250 basic units in total. Units awaiting production are shown at the top-right of each icon in
the Basic Unit Palette; units produced for the selected squad, but un-morphed into a fighting form
are shown at the bottom-left of each icon.

16
Nanomorphing Fighters
Each squad is nanomorphed into its combat form using a “recipe” based on the three basic units.
Hold the pointer over any of the available fighter forms in the Nanomorph Palette to view the
recipe of basic units you need to create it.

Nanomorphing also requires Nanomorph Energy (shown in the Squad Palette). This is energy set
aside for each squad from the power you generate. If you are generating energy faster than you
are using it (the Energy Meter is green), Nanomorph Energy will be recharged very quickly. As the
efficiency of your Energy Generation/Consumption ratio drops, the rate that Nanomorph Energy
recharges will also drop.

The available fighter forms depend on the Laboratories you have built and/or upgraded. For
example to nanomorph a squad of Snipers, you will need an active Laser Lab; for Rockers you
must have an active Rocket Lab. The facilities required for production of a fighter type are also
shown in the recipe.

To nanomorph basic units into fighters, select a squad (see also Creating Squads) then left-click one
of the available icons in the Nanomorph Palette. Provided your have enough basic units to fill the
recipe and sufficient Nanomorph Energy, the squad will change into its new shape. A squad of basic
units can be nanomorphed only into one type of fighting form at a time. Each of the fighting forms has
different strategic advantages and disadvantages – see Appendix 2: Units for more information.

Nanomorph Palette

Number of fighters that can be nanomorphed

from basic units (shown for each type of
fighter as they become available).

The number top-left of each icon in the Nanomorph Palette indicates how many fighters of that
type you can morph from the basic units you have produced. If you have already nanomorphed
a squad, this number will show how many additional fighters you can produce as you add more
basic units to the squad (see Creating Squads).

Note: not all nanomorph fighting forms are effective against all types of target. Select the form of
your squad carefully. See Appendix 2: Units for more information.

17
Creating Squads
In order to mount an effective offence against your rivals and defend against Scourge attacks, you
will need to create more than one squad of fighters. Your first squad is commanded by the Frame,
but for each additional squad you will need to construct a Command Centre.

key (F1-F5) and produce some basic units for your new squad (see Basic Units). Once the basic
units have rallied at the squad’s location, you can nanomorph your squad into one of the fighting
forms and send them in against your enemy.

To merge the Basic Units of two squads, select both squads by holding the ß key and
left-clicking each squad. Next, click the “Join Squads” icon that appears at the bottom of
the Basic Units Palette.

MOVING A SQUAD
To move a squad around the battlezone, first select it using the Squad Palette then right-click the
location you want the squad to move to. Alternatively left-click the Move icon in the Command
Palette then left-click the new location. To confirm the order is being actioned, a path joins the
squad and the point it is moving to.

To cancel a selected squad’s movement, left-click the Stop icon in the Command Palette.

Note: any basic unit reinforcements you create for a squad must reach the squad’s location before
they can be nanomorphed into additional units.

PATROLLING AN AREA
The selected squad can be ordered to patrol (and defend) an area, attacking any enemy units
within range.

Click the Patrol icon in the Command Palette; the normal pointer changes to the waypoint tool.
Left-click on the ground where you want your squad to begin, then left-click points you want you
squad to visit on its patrol. When you have finished laying out the squad’s patrol path, right-click
on the ground to return your pointer to normal. The squad will follow the path you’ve laid out,
returning along the same path when they reach the end.

OFFENSIVE/DEFENSIVE MODE
Click the Offensive/Defensive Mode icon in the Command Palette to alter the attitude of the
selected squad. A squad operating in Offensive Mode will actively seek and attack any nearby
enemy unit or building, regardless of their peril. In Defensive Mode a squad will hold position,
only attacking enemies that come into range.

ATTACKING
When your squad is assembled and nanomorphed into a suitably aggressive form, it’s time to order
the attack.

Select a squad, then right-click an enemy squad, building or weapons installation. Alternatively,
left-click the Attack icon in the Command Palette, then left-click the squad’s target. To confirm
the order, a red path connects the squad and its target. The squad will move so that the target
is within range then let loose upon its mark.

If the squad is set to Offensive Mode (see Offensive/Defensive Mode), it will attack any enemy
units it encounters on its way into battle.

Remember, only certain nanomorphed fighting forms are suitable for attacking certain targets.
See Appendix 2: Units for more information.

The Ultimate Defence: The Perimeter
Perimeter Controls When the situation becomes desperate, your only option may
be to prevent any further invaders from entering your base.
The Perimeter is an impenetrable force field emitted by your
Energy Cores that surrounds your base (provided your Cores
Raise Perimeter are properly placed); any Scourge or enemy units that come
Lower Perimeter into direct contact with the Perimeter Shield will be severely
damaged (if not destroyed outright).

Whilst extremely effective at shielding any facilities and units within the charge area of your
Energy Core or Frame, it is extremely costly in terms of energy usage. A full Perimeter can drain
your energy supplies in very little time, though you can extend its life by ensuring you have plenty
of energy reserves — build Energy Collectors to maximise your stores.

To raise the full Perimeter, left-click the Raise Perimeter control. To drop it, left-click the Lower
Perimeter control.

Each of your Energy Cores is capable of generating a smaller Perimeter Field. This is useful when
strategic, rather than wholesale, defence is needed. To raise a single Core’s Perimeter, select the
Core and left-click the Perimeter icon in the Command Palette. Left-click the icon again to drop
the Perimeter.

Hold ß, left-click multiple Cores, then click the Perimeter icon in the Command Palette to raise
all of their Fields at once.

HOW TO PLAY PERIMETER IN GAMESPY ARCADE

You can play Perimeter online through GameSpy Arcade, which comes conveniently bundled with
the game. If you haven’t done so already, insert your Perimeter disc and install Arcade now. Then,
to play Perimeter online, just follow these simple instructions:

Launch GameSpy Arcade and Go to the Perimeter Room: Click on the GameSpy Arcade link in your
Start Menu. When the software starts, you’ll see a list of games and more along the left-hand side.
There’s plenty to do, but there’s time for that later: Click on the Perimeter button on the left to enter
the Perimeter room.

Find and Join a Perimeter Server: Once you’re in the Perimeter room you can meet or greet other
players and find servers. The top half of the application will list all of the available servers,
including the number of people playing and your connection speed (measured by something called
“ping.” The lower your ping, the better.) Double-click on a server of your choice to join. Perimeter
will launch and automatically connect you to the server you selected. Let the battle commence!
