Boss Assault Burstius

Defeat the Hero

Gyro is a gallant, undefeated hero of the Galactic Super-Empire. They have slaughtered countless thousands of so-called evildoers across the known universe. Grounded for their recent actions, they've stolen a cutting-edge prototype ship and blasted out in search of more adventure, excitement, and action.
