"Save the earth from the falling asteroid! Built[sic] a rocket complex and train a team of astronauts!"'

"An asteroid is approaching the earth! It could potentially destroy every city on the planet, but the residents of Megapolis know there's someone out there who won't let that happen! Scientists suggest building a series of rockets and launching them into space to change the gigantic rock's trajectory!

"The residents beg the mayor: train a team of astronauts. We could start a space program in Megapolis. At the moment it will help save the people of earth from the asteroid, and tomorrow it will provide Megapolis with the innumerable bounties of the cosmos!"

Operation Cosmic Shield is a timed Quest in which the player has 192 hours to build and upgrade a total of 3 areas and 3 buildings with assets leading up to space-related rewards. It was released as part of Update/07.30.2013 and follows the related Danger from Space and Fall of a Meteorite timed quests.[1]
