Fleets you can read on sight
Corvettes, frigates, cruisers, carriers, and battlecruisers, each with its own job in the line. Every empire builds its own designs, and a rival fleet is recognizable by its shape before the first shot.
The Palatine Empire has fallen.
Move fleets, blockade worlds, besiege provinces and sign treaties on the galaxy map, one turn at a time. When fleets meet, you take command. Thousands of warships jump in and trade fire until one side breaks. Every ship you lose is gone for good.
Key features
Real-time battles
Command warfleets of thousands
More than 3,000 warships share one battlefield. Cruisers pound each other at range, corvettes swarm the flanks, and carriers fill the space between the lines with fighters and bombers. Every ship flies, fires, and burns on its own.
Deployment
Jump in when it hurts most
A battle opens on an empty field. Ships jump into a zone that widens as the fight goes on, and anything still in reserve stays hidden until it arrives. Both sides play it that way.
Tactics
A counter for every ship
Kinetic rounds, heat, explosives, and ion fire each meet armor and shields in a different way. Turrets cover an arc, not the whole sky. Hit chance and counters are marked on the ship.
- The Screen
- Point-defense ships stand ahead of the cruisers and knock torpedoes and missiles out of the sky.
- The Reserve
- The heaviest ships wait off the field and jump in after the enemy has committed.
- The Blackout
- Ion fire strikes a capital ship, and its guns fall silent for a few seconds.
- The Swarm
- Fighters and bombers strip a slow ship while the line of battle holds.
Sieges
A province, station by station
A siege runs across a whole province, hundreds of kilometers wide. Fortresses fire back, shipyards launch fresh defenders mid-battle, and the planetary guard strikes the attacking line. Every station that falls opens a new jump point, and the siege goes on, turn after turn, until the defense breaks.
Admirals who think for themselves
Enemy admirals bring their own traits into the fight. They focus fire, take a flank, hold reserves back, and pull damaged ships out until their shields recover. No two battles play out the same.
An empire from the ruins
Eight story factions in the fall of Palatine, across 144 star systems. A Sandbox galaxy runs to 550 systems and 30 empires, with fallen empires, marauders, and a late crisis. Governments, settlements, taxes, and research. Each province starbase becomes a naval, trade, industrial, research, or fortress headquarters. Diplomacy is one table: trade, access, alliances, peace, and war.
Build, capture, destroy
A skirmish opens on a single station. Resource points pay credits, the station climbs through five levels, and guard posts carry a bounty. The enemy station is the prize. Up to 63 opponents, in any teams, with siege, fleet battle, and survival matches alongside.
