About this game

Build and expand your empire among the stars in this relaxed single-player RTS. Command fleets, manage planetary infrastructure, and research new technologies while enjoying a clear overview of your domain through minimalist visuals.

Manage Your Planets

Manage your empire's infrastructure and resources across multiple planets. Each world offers limited building space and requires careful power management - insufficient electricity will slow down production and defensive capabilities.

Command A Powerful Fleet

Build and command different spacecraft types, from civilian colony ships to military vessels. Combat follows an intuitive rock-paper-scissors system, where unit types counter each other but can overcome their weaknesses through technological advancement.

Research New Technologies

Construct research facilities to generate scientific knowledge and unlock new technologies. Upgrade your buildings, improve your units, and advance your civilization's capabilities.

Three Distinct Species

Choose between the resourceful Hoomans, the adaptable Fungoreptis, or the rare mineral-dependent Octosects - each offering unique playstyles and challenges.

Campaign And Skirmish Modes

Explore a non-linear campaign where each completed mission unlocks new challenges in neighboring star systems, from tutorial missions to complex scenarios.

Or dive into highly replayable skirmish matches on randomized maps featuring anything imaginable - navigate dense asteroid belts, harness the resources of multiple star systems, and adapt your strategy around black holes and space nebulae.

Gameplay Comfort

  • Adjustable game speed to match your preferred pace

  • Fair AI opponent that doesn't rely on cheating

  • Clear, minimalist interface providing complete oversight of your empire

  • Simple yet engaging combat system that minimizes micro-management
