Star Control 3 Walkthrough
uploaded by Randy Johnson
Please note: The game can be one in many different orders. The first time I
played the game through, I followed a different order to win the game, and
even skipped a few things. Also, be aware that somethings in the game are
time based, and appear a certain number of days after you have completed a
certain task. If you can't progress, save the game, and wait a few game
days and see if anything happens.

colony.
