	The game starts in 2200, with a galaxy and several independent cultures. The game has three phases, adjustable in options: '''Early Game''', '''Middle Game''' and '''Late Game''', each with their own events. You win when you conquer a majority of the galaxy, solely or in a federation. Tangible resources are: minerals for generic construction and processing, food, energy (as credits), alloys for military and high-tech construction, and consumer goods. Each species has different needs for these resources as well -- organics need food, lithoids need minerals, robots need energy, cyborgs need a combination of those and so on. Then there are intangible resources like amenities (signifying ease of citizens's lives and infrastructural comforts) and unity (which is gained by cultural activities like joyous festivals or the holy slaughter of aliens). Tradable special resources are exotic ~~gases~~(super powerful space fuel), volatile motes(quasi fantastic space explosive), Zro dust(spice from Dune), "crystals"(lots of superstrong gems for lensing), Dark Matter, Living Metal(yup Necrodermis). Super rare resources are on the other hand, Nanites and Precursor artefacts (which are gained from archaeological excavation sites and from a super rare extragalactic cluster). Instead of barbarians and natives, we have pre-FTL civilizations and space monsters, relics, ancient drones ready to be destroyed...or researched and even adapted to.

	To simulate a [[Europa Universalis]] atmosphere, the game has obstacles and shenanigans of empires familiar to those from the medieval era of ancient Earth, it doesn't get any more anthropocentric than that.

Then there's "Plantoids, Necroids, Federations, Synthetic Dawn, Overlord, Toxoids, Galactic Paragons, and Nemesis for various roleplaying options."
