Star Crusade: War for the Expanse

Star Crusade: War for the Expanse was a free-to-play, sci-fi digital collectible card game developed and published by ZiMAD, in which players commanded one of six factions in head-to-head card duels with a variable deck size of 25 to 40 cards and additional customization through Commander Modules. All play took place in discrete, matchmade card duels rather than a persistent shared world, so it is catalogued here as a non-MMO reference. Player reports of persistent server connection failures date back to at least 2021, with no official closure statement or response from the developer since.
