About the game
Imagine it's the year 2357, and the situation is dire: the Sun has decided to 'expand' and is becoming a Red Giant. The result? Mercury and Venus are gone, and Earth is next. Radiation and extreme heat have made life as we know it impossible. Humanity's only escape is the construction of a colossal starship capable of transporting a fraction of the population to the Trappist system, where a viable new home has been located. The catch? Earth lacks the necessary materials for such a monumental feat, and current solar extraction technology is simply not enough.

That's where you come in. Leading one of the world's most influential corporations, your goal is to lead the technological and logistical race to harvest resources from the other planets in our solar system. You'll need to plan your routes, manage resources, and ensure your corporation is the primary contributor to the ship's construction. It's not just about survival, but about prestige: the corporation that contributes the most will have the honor of guiding humanity to its new world. Get ready for a deep strategy game where resource management and movement efficiency are the difference between eternal glory and cosmic oblivion. Can you coordinate interstellar logistics while the solar apocalypse clock keeps ticking?
