Your mission in this Star Trek based strategy space game is to colonize planets, survive, trade, interact with other starships and fight other races. I strongly recommend you to brief over at least the first few sections of the in-game instructions in order to gain an understanding of basic ship operations. This game is very complex and will entertain you for looong hours. Use YOUR MOUSE (or shortcut keys) to control the game. Explore the galaxy and see what happens. Enjoy!
