Command the armies of a human empire pushing into contested space. Seize extraction zones, lock down supply, raise fortifications, and unlock fresh units and tactical support mid-battle — then hold the line against everything the frontier throws at you.
The Empire does not slow down. Generation after generation it expands — more ground taken, more resources claimed.
Commander, a new frontier sector has opened. It's rich, it's unclaimed, and it is not quiet. Securing it is your assignment.
Secure the extraction zones. Establish forward bases. Lock down logistics. We don't just arrive — we stay. And there are things out there that would very much prefer we didn't.
You don't babysit individual soldiers. You command coordinated squads where positioning, timing and control decide every engagement.
Line infantry and recon follow orders without question. Specialists and armor arrive when you've earned the Authority to call them — and they tend to tear through whatever's in the way. Their numbers are limited. Use them well.
The sector is not just terrain — it's a network of strategic assets. Supply points expand your operational capacity. Security zones generate Authority, the currency that decides how much force you can field and how long you can sustain it.
Take ground and your options multiply: restricted resources, advanced equipment, elite units. Lose it, and your advance stalls. Control of the map is not optional — it defines your strength.
Taking ground is one thing. Keeping it is another. Expand your operational base, then push fortifications, strongpoints and forward positions out to where they matter most.
A well-placed emplacement can hold a sector longer than any squad. A poorly-placed one is gone before it counts. The Empire does not abandon what it has claimed.
Everything under your command, from the first squad to the last fortification.
Command coordinated squads instead of lone units. Positioning, timing and control define every fight.
Capture and hold strategic sectors for resources, supply and battlefield dominance.
Earn Authority through combat and control. Spend it to decide how much force you can field — and sustain.
Unlock artillery strikes, missile barrages and aerial deployments by controlling key locations.
Establish your main base and deploy defensive structures across the battlefield to lock down positions.
Start with basic infantry and expand into advanced units, vehicles and specialized support.
Aggressive, numerous, unintelligent. They rely on instinct and mass — they swarm, they overwhelm, they don't stop until destroyed. Fortunately, they're predictable. Keep formations tight and fire disciplined, and they fall like the rest.
Undisciplined, poorly equipped, no command structure worth mentioning. They survive by scavenging what they can't build and taking what they can't earn. Underestimate them and even disorganized resistance can disrupt an operation.
