It's a dangerous mission, with every encounter presenting a unique challenge with multiple solutions. What will you do if a heavy missile barrage shuts down your shields?

Key Features: • Complex Strategic Gameplay - Give orders to your crew, manage ship power distribution and choose weapon targets in the heat of battle. • Play at Your Own Speed - Pause the game mid-combat to evaluate your strategy and give orders. • Unique Lifeforms and Technology – Upgrade your ship and unlock new ones with the help of six diverse alien races. • Be the Captain You Want - Hundreds of text based encounters will force you to make tough decisions. • Randomized Galaxy - Each play-through will feature different enemies, events, and results to your decisions. No two play-throughs will be quite the same. • No Second Chances! - Permadeath means when you die, there's no coming back. The constant threat of defeat adds importance and tension to every action.
