About the Game

Meet allies, foes and aliens on your trek across a solar system. Plan layouts, coordinate attacks, balance resources, manage fleet facilities and take on many different kinds of enemies in numerous encounters along your journey. Your choices will shape the routes you take and the effectiveness of your tactics will determine your success…

Campaign: Play the story and choose your path through a journey to fight for the NUMC against the Arratelle Empire.

Open Space: Visit various sights across the galaxy and fight multiple different foes as the commander of a rebel fleet.

Space Dock: Build your own command ship to use in either campaign or open space modes.

Tactical Gameplay: Manage ammunition, hull and firepower for your Cruiser, Corvettes and Fighters. Train engineers, build fighters and upgrade ships to improve your fleet. Manage your crew's well-being, re-arm and repair your fleet in real-time while in battle to give yourself the edge over your enemies.

Trade and Earn: Make money from eliminating enemies, selling scrap and investing, or visit the Trade room and earn some Galactic Coin by buying and selling commodities.

Choices Matter: Decide to focus on engineering instead of fighter ability, sensor upgrades over weapon upgrade, or choose to run instead of fight...every choice you make can effect the strength of your fleet and the difficulty of your game.

Rank Up: Gain reputation by defeating enemy fleets, rank up and unlock better and stronger ships.
