Description:

Your race has just invented the stardrive and is now ready to launch
itself into an interstellar colonization effort. Will you be the wisest
leader in the galaxy? Can you guide your race through interstellar
expansion in competion with other races just as advanced as your own? Will
you emerge as the dominant power in the galaxy in the end?

Stellar Conflict is a game of interstellar exploration, colonization and
warfare. Develop your colonies to increase industrial output. Develop
technologies that give you the needed extra edge, such as the Space
Elevator, Cloning, Matter Transmission and the Robotic Army. Launch
warfleets to protect your colonization effort or conquer alien planets.
The race with the best planets and the most population in the end will
rule the galaxy!

In Stellar Conflict your first choice is what kind of race yout want to
play. Should you choose an industrialist to maximize your production or a
traveller to start with faster ships? A researcher to quickly advance your
technological capabilities or a survivor to thrive even in hostile
environments? Or should you choose to be a megaworlder, a warlord, an
administrator, a slaver or a diplomat? Or even a xenophobe, bent on
destruction of all other races in the galaxy? Should you choose a
combination of two race types or specialize? Your choice will determine
your opportunities throughout the game and will depend on which strategy
you wish to follow.
