Galaxy Force: Battles of the Fallen Stars

–GALACTIC ROTATION 36X141.21°–

Roughly 40,000 former earth years have passed since the warriors of Xen threatened the destruction of all lifeforms in the galaxy. Through the remarkable interplay of many species, the common enemy was eliminated, the order was restored and a tight alliance of systems was wrought to negate any possibility of such recurrence in the future.

Now the keys to hegemony lie with the Imperator, based on the artificial mega-planet of Sol and tasked with nothing less than keeping order in the expansive galaxy. The office is appointed and overseen by a volatile senate too busy quarreling over narrow-sighted agendas and convictions.

Through the recent rise of the Trade Guild, many systems were left feeling alienated from the Imperial alliance, unable to shape their own destinies. After a mysterious explosion on a trading vessel, the Guild was quick to lay blame on its enemies, squeezing them of their last remaining loyalty. One aft er the other, systems started to secede, rising up in revolt. A civil war is starting to tear at the fragile fabric of the Empire.

The senate is growing impatient.

Galaxy Force: Battles of the Fallen Stars is a fast-playing, immersive solitaire play experience. The once glorious Order of Allied Stars now lies in turmoil as formerly devoted systems have seceded from the empire, joining a hastily formed rebellion. A well-crafted event system along with numerous alien species you will encounter ensures a different narrative and action-packed play experience.
