Engage in Tactical or Strategic Combat throughout the galaxy, using fighters, troops, and mines to supplement your starships. Keep on building your empire through research, intelligence operations, politics, treaties, and decisively planned strategy here are hundreds of different components that can be placed on your ships and a comprehensive number of facilities that can be built on your remote outposts.
