Turn-based 4X strategy where you guide one of multiple alien races to dominate the galaxy through conquest, diplomacy, or technological supremacy. You'll colonize planets, research tech trees spanning weapons to terraforming, design custom starships by slotting components into hulls, and fight tactical space battles on a grid. Diplomatic options let you form alliances or trade, but war's usually inevitable. The Antarans—an ancient race freed from dimensional prison—send periodic raid fleets against your colonies as the game progresses, escalating until you invade their home dimension through a portal. Ground combat, espionage, and leader units with special abilities add layers. Matches can run dozens of hours. It's dense, UI's aged, but the ship customization and tactical depth still hold up if you want spreadsheet-level control over your empire.
