  Description     : The Netrek Vanilla Server.

This Package provides the Vanilla Netrek Server.

Netrek is the probably the first video game which can accurately be 
described as a "sport." It has more in common with basketball than with 
arcade games or Quake. Its vast and expanding array of tactics and 
strategies allows for many different play styles; the best players are 
the ones who think fastest, not necessarily the ones who twitch most 
effectively. It can be enjoyed as a twitch game, since the dogfighting 
system is extremely robust, but the things that really set Netrek apart 
from other video games are the team and strategic aspects. Team play is 
dynamic and varied, with roles constantly changing as the game state 
changes. Strategic play is explored in organized league games; after 
more than six years of league play, strategies are still being invented 
and refined.
