Game Overview
It’s the 24th century and the colonization of space is not going well. Hyperspace opened the door to the stars, but habitable worlds are few and far in between, overpopulation is still rampant, and our civilization’s appetite for resources has only increased. For over a hundred years, the incredibly rich Dust Zone sated this endless appetite, jointly controlled by the United Earth Nations and the Zone Mining Cooperative. But humanity’s fighting chance only lasted for a short hundred years. Now, it has gone dark. Freighters stopped arriving with supply hauls and humanity is facing an unprecedented crisis. It’s up to the commander of UEN’s finest fleet, to deploy into the Dust Zone, investigate, and solve the supply chain crisis before it spirals out of control. It’s time to demonstrate strategic aptitude in a turn-based management mode. Then, head to the front lines and channel your inner commander in intense, real-time space battles.
- Command an entire space fleet and survive in the most hostile environment known to man. Secure strategic nodes, harvest the Dust Zone’s resources, and expand the fleet to confront the threat to humanity’s survival.
- Customize each individual ship using a detailed designer. Upgrade every vessel with newly researched hulls, modules, and of course, weapons. Every upgrade matters, not just on the ships themselves.
- Complete side missions to unlock additional fleet stations and strategic options. These can provide one-of-a-kind bonuses in battles, from extra build queues to support powers – potentially turning the tide of the battle at hand or even the entire war.
