We have returned to continue our purification of this galaxy. It is again your turn to be crushed beneath the great force that is the Antaran army. All your petty squabbling with the other beings in this galaxy is meaningless. The Antaran fleet will destroy you all, one by one. You may not surrender. You cannot win. Your only option is death.

A bit of Googling suggests that it may be the German Gold edition.

What's the deal with Deutschland and FS? It's the only other country with localisation, IIRC

It's just the superlative there's no gender specific form. And yes the Dimension Pack is some kind of gold edition.

In german, you have seperate superlatives.

masculine form = Bester
feminine form = Beste
neutral form = Bestes

So you would say 'Bestes Schnitzel', but 'Beste Bratwurst'.

Since I'm german, well half german to be correct I should know better but you got me there. I just meant the use of Beste in conjunction with an article: "der, die, das beste".

Yeah, I dunno, they had Heiko Hermann on the job (who, btw, also wrote the Descent Manager suite, which we owe a lot to). Dunno, maybe Heiko just knew the folks at V and was interested.
- Eddie Kent Woo, Setekh, Steak (of Steaks), AWACS. Seriously, just pick one.
