Old game from IT, where one player is the game master as he must create a galaxy. The others players are space ship commanders who must explore planets, meet alien races (capture, kill, negotiate, trade etc.) Players gather command points if they can complete these missions. Once they gather enough points they can return to the base, be promoted and receive bigger ships that are better at different types of missions. There are also hidden pirates ships that move in the galaxy and try to destroy the ships of the players. The Galaxy is also full of other dangers such as black holes, spatial jump squares, etc. Expanded by: Tablin
