                               Command : SHOOT

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: shoot <SECTS> <CIVS|UWS> <NUMBER>

The shoot command allows you to shoot enemy civilians or  recalcitrant  uncom-
pensated  workers.   In  order  to  be able to keep the populace under control
(i.e., not have them rebel), you must have one military for every ten  civili-
ans.   Any  land  units in the sector count towards the mil necessary for con-
trol.  Also, security units in the sector will make shooting more efficient,

Each civ or uw shot uses mobility. The amount used is:

           (nshot + 4) / 5

Fractions are rounded randomly up or down, depending on size. For  example,  a
0.8 cost has an 80% chance of being 1, and a 20% chance of being 0.

<NUMBER> is a positive number that is the number of people shot per sector.

                               Command : SHOOT

After the program has collected any necessary information it  will  list  each
sector  where  your  troops shoot down the poor helpless people along with the
number of people murdered.

If all the civilians in the sector are removed, and it was a conquered sector,
it  will become completely controlled by you, and you will be notified of this
fact.

Having security troops in the sector will increase the efficiency of the  fir-
ing squads, resulting in more dead than you asked for. (They're enthusiastic)
