Why you might like it

  • Fans of classic 2000s-era browser space strategy games who want to see one preserved and kept alive by its own community.
  • Players interested in full player-run governments and diplomacy layered onto ship-and-planet strategy.
  • Anyone curious about fan preservation efforts — the current version was painstakingly rebuilt from an old info site, image pack, and the Wayback Machine.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • This is a fan-run revival of a long-shuttered original game, not an officially operated service — expect a volunteer-run project rather than a commercial one.
  • Some original systems and balance numbers were never documented and had to be recreated from memory and guesswork, so mechanics may differ subtly from the original.
  • As a from-scratch community rebuild, updates and population may be modest compared to commercially published browser strategy games.
