📖 About This Game
Far beyond the centers of the galaxy, five factions collide in a contested solar system. Whether as scientist, native, pirate, corporation or imperialist, you are trying to accomplish your secret mission before your opponents do. You discover planets, conquer stations, and fight other players for territory. Mighty fleets will help you suppress the opponent, while diplomacy paves the way for a flourishing nation.
Rapid competition is guaranteed, forcing you to demonstrate bravery and smart decision-making. At the same time you must track the progress of your opponents and be aware of the power that alliances can provide.
In Cosmic Empires, the individual layout, changing roles, and variety of missions contribute to a unique gaming experience.
