Welcome to the 26th Century. Mankind has been forced to expand from the Sol System in response to overpopulation. Dozens of star nations have formed and trillions of humans inhabit the galaxy, along with a few alien races. This future is characterized by large fleets of warships fighting in massive battles in deep space. In this future, resources are in high demand. Thousands of ships and hundreds of thousands of men fight and die for dead moons, asteroid belts, and scarred remnants of star systems, all for the resources contained in them. Dominate the space lanes, control the resources, expand your empire.
