Description:

Run a corporation in the frontiers of space. Operate starships, build
colony facilities, harvest the rich resources of alien worlds, manufacture
goods to keep the colonists happy.

Turns are played through emails with players able to submit any number of
orders between game updates to be processed immediately but have a limited
amount of time to use between each daily update.

Star Corp comes with a graphical client for viewing turn reports and
preparing turn orders. The client provides a tree-based view of all a
corporation's assets, mechanisms to search available items and markets,
design starships and prepare orders and send them via email.
