About the Game

Outfit your Ship

Prepare with the perfect blend of weaponry! Choose between heavy weapons to ravage turrets or lighter weapons to spray down scouting enemy parties. Change stats with ship components! Tank up to take on the whole army or become so offensive that they won’t be even able to see you coming. Experiment and make your perfect ship!

Naval Fleet Combat

Dive into the universe of naval space combat. The enemy is well established in your sector with scouting parties, defense turrets, and heavy ships that vastly outperform your own. That being said, you’re now the captain of your own unique battlecruiser and a tried and tested crew. With your skill and their experience combined, victory is almost guaranteed!

Narrative

As a recently promoted captain, you’ve been relocated to be at the forefront of the revolution. Lead a special operation – one that has the power to turn the entire conflict on its head. It is up to you to prove that there is still hope for an end to this war. Learn the details through your military briefings and slowly put together the full context of the Catolia civil war and its rich history. Learn and untangle the stories of your crew and your enemies to get to the heart of the rift tearing this system apart. Your mission? Fight for freedom or die trying.
