## Description
Prepare for galactic revolution in Empires: Galactic Rebellion! In this game, you take on the role of a leader of a rebel faction tired of the corrupt rule of the Galactic Senate. The galaxy is in turmoil, with rivals vying for power and the chance to shape the future. Each faction has its own vision, but only one can emerge victorious. To achieve this, you'll need to recruit and train crucial specialists. Scientists develop game-changing technologies, smugglers build trade networks, and diplomats try to influence Senate decisions. Meanwhile, heroes undertake covert missions, and troopers fight battles across planets. While sharing mechanics with its predecessor, Empires: Age of Discovery, this title offers a refreshed experience with new thematic actions and activities, such as Covert Missions, the Galactic Senate, and Capital Ship Fleets. It's a strategy game featuring worker placement and area control, where every decision counts on your journey to free the galaxy from tyranny. If you enjoy science fiction themes with a solid dose of strategy and influence struggles, get ready to lead your rebellion!
