Description
–GALACTIC ROTATION 36X141.21°–
The once glorious Imperial Order of Allied Stars now lies in turmoil. Formerly devoted systems have seceded from the empire, joining a hastily formed rebellion.
In this solitaire game, you as the Imperator take control of the Imperial armed forces, known as the Galaxy Force, tasked with the senate’s mission of quashing the insurgency and resubjugating rebellious systems. Perhaps more importantly, you must walk the tightrope of fulfilling military objectives while keeping political support of the various factions in the Imperial Senate—most notably that of the Trade Guild, a strong conglomerate in control of the invaluable trade hubs operating at high capacity throughout the galaxy. As if the workload wasn’t enough, a host of warring and uncompromising alien species crawl the depths of space, always threatening the fragile galactic order.
Galaxy Force: Battles of the Fallen Stars is a fast-playing, immersive solitaire game of space warfare, giving the player meaningful decisions and creating tense situations with a compact set of rules. The tightly crafted event system and the numerous alien species to be encountered ensure the player is presented with a different action-packed play experience each time.
