Battles are won by the heroic acts of the right man in the right place. While distrust grows, the empires are reassembling their fleets into massive armadas if the need arises to defend what they have.

Expansions - 2011/09/28 - Three expansions are currently under development. First in line will be: "Shattered Throne". The central government on Solium Sphaera has fallen. The planet is in turmoil.

Fleet sizes are rising. The amount of weapons is growing. The empire with the most advanced technological knowledge will seize control of the central megaplanet Solium Sphaera. He who controls Solium Sphaera reigns the universe.

Alien Races

Roach
The Roaches are many. This insectoid race multiplies at such at high rate that they are on a constant lookout for new planets to expand their empire. Fresh worlds are quickly overrun by swarms of Roaches pooring out of their transporter space fleet.

Pacal
Pacal diplomats are a standard presence regarding all planetwide politics. Their assuring ability to balance outcomes of twists and to find equilibrium in conflicts makes their race a ideal peacekeeper and ruler. Much to the agitiation of several powerhungry races.

Mors
The Mors splinter race separated thier ways from Men generations ago. Their focus on fuel sources and production facilities makes their home planet an abomination in the galaxy but it acts as a paradise to them when it comes to expansion and manufacturing.

Matriks
All Matriks cyborgs have become one with their technological inventions. This unity between being and machine gives them an edge in fights where the best weapons will decide who will be victorious. The production and capabilities of their space fleet are faster and bigger than any other race.

Human
Humans are very territorial. This naturally leads to much conflict. Their continuous battles with other races as well as internal affairs prevent technological development. But the conflicts assure there is always a vast supply of troops ready to fight.

Freebooters
Freebooters roam the universe looking to profit from various opportunities. Their pirate fleet of captured Cruisers is constantly looking for undefended planets to conquer and easy target to destroy. Nobody is safe for their greedy minds.
