Command the fleet. Win the galaxy.
A sci-fi collectible card game where you command a starship fleet in fast, tactical 1v1 battles — then take it all into a branching single-player campaign, roguelike tournaments, and local multiplayer.
Fast 5–10 minute duels with real depth — deploy ships, chain faction abilities, and outmaneuver the enemy commander.
Every match is a 5–10 minute tactical duel. Deploy ships to the board, spend energy on game-changing tactics, and win by destroying the enemy Command Ship. Ships attack or act — never both — so every turn is a real decision.
A Prologue, six Acts, and the Null Crown finale — 19 chapters, 101 hand-authored battles (120+ with optional bounties and hunts). Branching choices can permanently close a faction's path, and five recurring rival commanders field fleets that evolve every time you meet. Factions are strategic powers, not friends — earn respect, broker ceasefires, get betrayed.
A five-tier tournament ladder — Nova Cadet, Frontier Open, Graveyard Gauntlet, Dominion Trials, and the Champions Circuit — from "ten cadets, one champion" to a gauntlet of faction champions. Then go head-to-head: local hot-seat pass-and-play, or real human-vs-human online over Game Center with a global Ranked leaderboard.
Equip once-per-match Active Orders, refit individual ships in the Shipyard with +Power and +Hull, and assign named Ace pilots for signature powers. Level up to unlock cosmetics and rewards — never pay-to-win.
Six playable fleets, each with a distinct identity — and a diplomacy system where factions are strategic powers, not friends. The Hollow is the campaign's central threat.
Disciplined human fleet — planning, recall, and rock-solid command.
