  Hey all you adventurers out there, would you like to participate
in the biggest open ended space adventure game ever?!  This galaxy
contains over 1,000,000 stars, over 4,000,000 planets (yes, that
is six zeros on both of those numbers), and even moons.  There are
currently over 1600 different types of vessels with more to come.
The game control format is very detailed and flexible giving you
excellent control over your race's actions.
 
  There are several different types of races whose aspects you can
assume at the beginning of your play.  You can play as the cybernetic
Marauders who have the ability to destroy planets, and whose military
might is feared throughout the galaxy.  You can play the cunning and
elusive Travellers who have the secret means to move planets from
star to star.  You can play as the Transformers, whose secret planet
altering processes are sought after throughout the galaxy.  You can
play as a Power Corporation whose Power Centers increase planetary
efficiency and make everything less expensive to build.  The Traders
are the charismatic (and rich) race who make a healthy living trading
goods along the starlanes.  Pirates are races that have developed a
feared reputation stealthily bypassing planetary defenses, stripping
planetary surfaces, and kidnapping the populace.  And finally, but by
no means least are the Miners, whose development in the excavation
arts earn them a hefty planetary income along with the ability to
get glean credits from places that nobody else can.
 
  Form alliances, start and end wars, build your racial abilities, and
military power until you are a shaker and a mover in the galaxy.
There are almost no limits to what you can do in

                ****** Conquest and Destiny ****** !!
 
  Up to 9000 people can play simultaneously against each other.  It
is a open-ended game, meaning that there is no deadline to win by.
You can compete with players from the US and overseas.  We already
have players from 10 different states, and all are having loads of
fun!  The quick turnaround of the turns helps to ensure fast-paced
action.  The Sagittarian Arm right now is processing every other
day, and eventually will move up to every day.  For those of you
that don't want everything so speedy, there are other galaxies
that will be processed once a week, and once a month.  For those of
you that are reading this on a BBS, it will be considerably less
expensive to play electronically, rather than through the mail.  But
you don't even need a computer to play this galaxy spanning
adventure!
