## Halcyon 6
On the edge of Terran space lies Halcyon 6, a derelict starbase left behind by
a mysterious precursor race. Your mission is to reclaim the derelict station
and rebuild it.
A mysterious alien force is making a beeline towards Earth and this starbase
is the best chance for the New Terran Federation to establish new alliances,
research new technologies and otherwise figure out a way to stop the impending
invasion.
Using only the resources you can salvage from the derelict station and
gathered from nearby star systems, it’s up to you to rebuild the starbase to
lead the Terran Republic’s scientific research, exploration and diplomatic
efforts on the edge of known space.
Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition is a passion project whose design is inspired by
our years spent playing classic games like Star Control, Master of Orion,
X-COM, Civilization and new classics like FTL.
## Features:
* Base Building: spend resources to build station facilities (rooms) to enhance your production and technological capabilities, or build ships to help you control more territory
* Exploration: assign your fleets to nearby star clusters, where they can handle emerging enemy threats, do missions for alien factions or secure bonus resources
* Crew Management: assign crew to station facilities to greatly improve their output efficiency, or to ships where they can contribute in unique ways to combat, missions and events
* Deep Tactical Combat: fight tactical ship or ground battles to resolve hostile events, create a foothold in the sector and ultimately defeat the enemy mothership!
* Story Events: based on game criteria like rooms-built, alien diplomacy scores or officer traits/skills, the game will produce story events (often with multiple choice outcomes) that can lead to combat, time-related applied bonuses/negatives, officer attribute changes or any number of crazy in-game stories.
