You play as a fleet commander rising through the ranks of the United Space Federation forces. Start with a small group of frigates, and climb your way to controlling battleships, carriers and planetary bases, in huge space battles and boarding actions. Build space stations and orbital facilities to fortify your position, build your fleet, extract minerals and research upgrades. Execute boarding actions using marine special forces, and bombard your enemies with orbital long range cannons.

Players have the power to attack and destroy enemy fleets and structures, colonize and invade planets, build outposts and orbital stations, and execute boarding actions using marine special forces.
