Rank: Warmaster

Take command of every facet of your corporation in a hostile solar system. From strategic decisions on research and territory acquisition to hands-on piloting of individual ships, your focus determines your destiny.

• Flexible Fleet Management: Command fleets into engagements or seize first-person control of any ship. When your current ship is destroyed, you instantly jump into another ship you control, keeping momentum and pressure on the battlefield.
• Fully Customized Ships: Research new weapons and components to tailor ships to your strategy. Build ships manually or let the auto builder handle the layout. Placement is limited only by your ship’s internal space.
• Granular Damage System: Every part of every ship can be damaged or destroyed. Penetrate hulls to damage critical systems, or disable vessels to salvage and reverse engineer their technology.
• Customize Your Corporation: Create your own corporate identity with unique bonuses and penalties chosen at campaign start. These traits shape your playing style and determine long-term outcomes.
• Command as You Will: A robust suite of AI helpers lets you focus on what you love—whether it’s city development, fleet command, ship piloting, or campaign play with friends. The AI can handle the rest, keeping your workflow efficient.
• Explore a Hostile Solar System: An AI storyteller generates events and situations that deepen your rise to power. Some events are random, while others begin at the start of your campaign. You’ll also contend with forgotten colonists of Alpha Centauri seeking to reclaim their home system.

Story: A civil war between the Central Earth Government and a council of corporate interests fractures Earth's defenses. The Defense Grid is compromised and Earth becomes isolated. You are a corporate settler stranded on Mars, armed only with a Builder Bot, limited construction resources, and an instructional contingency AI named Ares. From these humble origins you must build a city and assemble a fleet of remotely controlled warships to secure territory and advance technology. You’re not alone—every major corporation launched its own settlers, creating a crowded solar system where space is scarce and competition deadly.
