Star Control 3 Hints
How do I start the war?
1 of 8: I know this sounds weird, but to advance in the game, you need to start the war with Crux.
2 of 8: Move into a Crux system (for example, the Cronos system).
3 of 8: You will then be attacked by a Clairconctlar. Listen to what they say about the Eltanin star system, and then kill them.
4 of 8: Now, check out Eltanin.
5 of 8: Leave the system, and some time later, Eltanin will be destroyed by fatigue.
6 of 8: Check out Eltanin and take some readings.
7 of 8: At this point, the Crux will declare war, because they think all of this is your fault.
8 of 8: You can escape before they bring in their ships, if you do it quickly.
