Desperate, your faction seeks to establish a new home on the Andromeda Rim. You begin with a space station, a few ships, and a handful of supplies. Deploy your ships strategically, accumulate resources, claim moons, acquire station modules, and colonize planets by establishing your infrastructure. Adversaries and rivals surround you… You must surpass them in science, industry, trade, and civilization, and establish your supremacy!

In this game, you lead a desperate faction seeking to build a new civilization on the Andromeda Rim. You begin with a space station, a few ships, and a handful of resources. By carefully placing your ships, you will harvest resources, claim moons, purchase modules to add to your station, populate planets, and build developments. You'll face opponents and compete with others to climb the ranks of Science, Industry, Commerce, Civilization, and Supremacy.

On your turn, you can either launch a ship or return your ships to your station. Launching sends one of your ships to a region of Andromeda, either to collect resources in planetary systems or to take action against Alliance bases. If the region is occupied by your opponents or by formidable raiders, you'll face off in a dice battle, with supremacy at stake, but where strategic manipulation can turn defeat into a reward. Upon returning to your station, you can activate your engine and use the modules you've acquired to generate energy, collect resources, and perform actions.

Throughout the game, you'll develop your unique faction by building developments (observatories, factories, spaceports, cities, and obelisks) and acquiring station modules that will advance you along the progression tracks. Progression along the tracks is rewarded both during mid-game and endgame events and is the key to victory.
