A respectable 79 average that never found its audience. A strategy game for the planners — science fiction as the backdrop, outthinking as the game. Play it solo first. The multiplayer will still be there when you're done.

About this game

What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machines escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds. The Core and the Arm have all but exhausted the resources of a galaxy in their struggle for domination. Both sides now crippled beyond repair, the remnants of their armies continue to battle on ravaged planets, their hatred fuelled by over four thousand years of total war. This is a fight to the death. For each side, the only acceptable outcome is the complete elimination of the other.
