This is a basic strategy game set in space. It is turned base, so you don't have to check in on it all of the time, you just have to check as often as you want (the more the better, of course). One turn goes by every hour on the hour. It is free (w/ only the occasinal text ad).
You are the master of a civilization that is adept at war and is bent on galactic domination. You have at your disposal grand fleets built at your many planetary objects (space stations, converted asteroids, even entire planets). Your goals will not be met easily as you are competing with other players who have the same goals (I'd like to say LOTs of other players... but there are only like 30 people playing right now...). You can join with them and create alliances to rule the galaxy or you can be a loner and attempt the monumental task of taking on the entire galaxy.
Unlike other games of this type where attacks can come from anywhere and from random directions in this game you have to build gates to other systems. These gates can be destroyed (with your fleets in them) and built by anyone, but you will always have the luxury of at least knowing where the bad guys will be coming from. These points of entry will be the focus of your enemies as well as your friends and they add a bit of strategy not found in many other games similar to this one.
