3202:AD
Set in the distant future, the civilizations of the galaxy have colonized space and turned the cosmos into a universal metropolis. After the great galactic war of 2045, the surviving nations combined all of their resources together to explore the depths of space and colonise small moons. The High Council was set up to represent these diverse governments to attempt to bring order to the galaxy in 2565.
You play a young, upcoming pilot new to the galaxy. You have been left in your grandfather's will, funds of §5000 credits, the deeds to his space station and his trusted ship. This new opportunity has given you the chance to live your life on the frontier. Manage your resources from your space station, buy and sell resources on your market, build factories to produce resources or stock up your ship and travel to other space stations and set up trade routes. Sit back and watch the money roll in, or if that isn't enough, gather your resources and build weapons, shields and even new ships then sell them to other players and become an ships and equipment merchant. You have to research to make many options available to you.
The game is web browser driven and is displayed by a number of screens, from The Map Screen, where space flight, exploration and attacking takes place, The Base Pages, where all your deals go on from buying and selling to building your own equipment, ships and factories. The Map Page is a 2D representation of space and is filled with other space stations, asteroids, planets, stars, old abandoned ship wreckages, and even the occasional wormhole for that quick route to the other-side of the galaxy.
