About the game
What you do in a play session
Fire up the engines, Captain! The setting is bleak: Earth has been devastated by wars, and humanity is now searching for a new home in the far reaches of the universe. With the main fleet missing, the responsibility of ensuring the species' survival rests on your shoulders. In Terra Prime, you take command of a spaceship with a critical mission: explore the unknown, colonize habitable planets, and build a safe stronghold for the Terran Federation. But don't think it's going to be a smooth cruise through the cosmos! Space is a dangerous place, filled with asteroids to dodge and hostile aliens ready to make your life difficult. To succeed, you'll need to masterfully manage rare resources like Bluium, Greenium, Yellium, and Brownium. Customizing your ship is the key to survival: you'll need to install weapon modules for combat, shields for protection, cargo holds for transport, and thrusters to navigate the modular board. Every decision counts, from the efficient use of your action points to the strategic choice of point-to-point movement routes. You'll have to decide whether to focus on scientific exploration, resource trading, or defending against external threats. Will you be able to master the technology needed to thrive and become the next great Admiral of the Federation? The fate of humanity is literally in your hands, so pilot carefully and prepare for colonization!
