Description
The galaxy is on the brink of chaos as tensions rise among the seven major spacefaring species. The Galactic Council, formed to maintain peace after the devastating Terran-Hegemony War, is struggling to prevent the escalation of malicious acts. Old alliances are crumbling, and secret diplomatic treaties are being forged, making a confrontation between superpowers inevitable. In Eclipse, you'll take control of a vast interstellar civilization, competing for success against rival factions. You'll explore new star systems, research technologies, and build spaceships to wage war, all while navigating the complexities of your species' strengths and weaknesses. With multiple paths to victory, you'll need to plan your strategy carefully, paying attention to the endeavors of other civilizations. Will your faction emerge victorious and lead the galaxy under its rule, or will you succumb to the shadows of your rivals? The outcome of the galactic conflict is yours to decide in Eclipse.
