This game combines in-depth strategic gameplay with action arcade elements.
Select a race, engage in commerce, combat, and exploration, buy and sell ships, weapons and technology, colonize planets and build stations to create an empire (or help another empire grow).
It's a huge game with many features that you just have to find out about yourself by going through the tutorial a couple of times before playing.
