Looking for spaceship scroller-shooter game [Drone]

I only remember the game from my memory, so I'll try to describe it the best I can.

It's a retro spaceship shooter (kind of with the same format of Galaga, the spaceship on the bottom of the screen pointing upward), and I believe it worked on Windows systems up until Windows Vista (though I think I remember playing it on Vista). I only played the demo version, so all I can remember is the first level. I think there was a story that went with it, but I don't remember what that story was.

Basically, you're an airplane-like craft, flying over what appears to be a planet with vegetation, and you're shooting these strange looking UFO's that fly by from the top of the screen. At the end of the first level, there's a loud DOOM sound, and a large mother-ship appears which you have to destroy. When you defeat it, the screen fades to white and the ship explodes. After that, you fade cut to an image of a newspaper article about the explosion. The image on the screen then breaks like glass, and you transition to a cut-scene of a different mothership, with some narrative text that says something along the lines of "It's still out there. You have to defeat it!" Fades to home screen.

There's no actual soundtrack to the game from what I can recall, but it has an eerie background ambience that consists of spaceship-like rumbling and droning. The atmosphere of the game is rather dark and unsettling too. As for the name, I believe the game had a one word title, but I can't be sure.

That's about all I can tell you. I just hope someone out there knows what game I'm talking about, because I'd really like to find it. Good luck!

Whoops, sorry about that. Didn't see that rule the first time.
