A freeform space-based realtime strategy game where the player controls groups of starships and fighters. The game is built around a randomly generated starmap which the player must rid of all enemy ships. During this quest, stations around the map can be used to purchase ships, equipment and officers, as well as using other station facilities such as bulletin boards and resupply depots. The player is not restricted to a mission structure – the enemy can be tackled in any order. However, if the enemy is left unchecked, they can spread and overrun neighbouring star systems, including any stations the player may be relying on for help!
