In 2292, the Romulans, using an experimental weapon, have torn the fabric of empty space. The blast has revealed a new system of planets rich in minerals. These new worlds are the stage for an explosive colonization race. Like many real-time titles, the game mixes resource management with unit production and blazingly fast combat.
Players control any of the three empires mentioned above in both campaign and multiplayer exploits.
The Taubat, a people native to the newly created Tabula Rasa region, have pivotal interactions with each player-controlled civilization but are not under the gamer's domain. Each empire's vehicles and buildings have a different look, but the tech trees for all three remain similar. Despite the semblance in upgrades and unit behavior, the plot and style of play differ with each civilization. Specifically, each race represents a different campaign and difficulty level. The Klingons are recommended for novices, the Federation for average skilled players and the Romulans for experts.
