Master
the unknown
before it masters you
Now Available!
Imagine a world where population
growth is outstripping planetary resources, where the need for galactic
expansion is critical, and where as the ruler, you must defend your empire
while guiding a team of pioneers on a search for life-sustaining resources.
Many other races are experiencing the same internal pressure to expand,
but the galaxy is only so large. You will need to lead your people into
other star systems quickly, securing the space and resources that will
guarantee your supremacy. But that's not all: banished from Orion, the
Antaran race lurks in the darkness. You prayed they would never return
but now, in the deepest reaches of outer space, they plan their revenge.
Multiple
game settings such as selecting the intelligence of your adversaries, the
size of the galaxy and the age of the civilization.
Choose
from 13 predesigned alien races, each with it's own special abilities,
or create your own using the Custom Race Options.
Research
over 200 technology fields or trade with other colonies for theirs.
Random
events and disasters will threaten or benefit the star systems, creating
havoc in the universe.
Explore
and colonize uncharted planets. Form a colony or take over one of your
enemy's.
Manage
every aspect of your colonie's resources. Assign careers, maintain population
morale and construct buildings.
Choose
either strategic or tactical combat.
Spectacular
Super VGA graphics and cinematics.
Up
to eight players with many multiplayer options. Choose modem, hot seat,
