Description
Stellar Conquest presents the heavens to explore and develop. In the beginning the galaxy is completely unknown to you and your rivals. Each of you command a space fleet consisting primarily of colony transports protected by a small number of warships. In advance are the scout ships to lead the way. They must quickly search and locate planets suitable for habitation. It is important to settle your people as soon as possible since they will form the basis of your industrial power. Once established, you can begin producing weapons and reaserching new technologies to support further exploration and migration. Inevitably, you will collide with other civilizations intent upon their own expansion and then you must be prepared to fight. In Stellar Conquest, strength begets strength, and only by a careful policy of production and expansion can you hope to gain enough planets to ensure the survival of your civilization.
