Spacewars: Interstellar Empires, also known simply as Spacewars, is a free to play turn-based tactical online strategy MMO, where real-time travel meets turn-based sci-fi combat. It is the year 2190, and in a region of the Milky Way between the Orion Spur and the Perseus Arm, four spacefaring races have come to dominate the area, with their borders under conflict. The Sol Imperial Worlds (the Humans), Genari United Empire (Sanethi), Ma’Alaketh Confederation (Ma’Ali), and ‘The Hive’ (organic spacefaring creatures) all fight for ultimate control.
Players choose a starting race, and a starting ship, with a customized Captain as their avatar. Through experience gained in combat, capturing regions, or successfully accomplishing missions, they can improve their Captain and Officer skills via an RPG upgrade skill tree, or acquire more powerful ships. It falls to you to help your faction gain total control; are you prepared?
