Players manuver fleets of ships in an attempt to conquer the known galaxy.
Each player starts on their homeworld with a small fleet of ships. The warp is represented by a grey disk holding the ships in the fleet. The warps do not move on the board but instead move along the tracks on the edges of the board. Each turn the fleet is in the warp it moves one sector and when it leaves the warp it can appear in any sector that is the proper distance from its starting point. If the fleet arrives at an unoccupied planet, the player gains control of that planet.
