❤ Base Building and Resource Management

Players rebuild and expand the derelict Halcyon 6 starbase by clearing out rooms and constructing new facilities. These facilities generate critical resources, research new technologies, and produce ships and crews. Efficiently managing the starbase's development is key to progressing in the game.

❤ Tactical Combat

In combat, players command a team of up to three ships (or ground units) in turn-based battles. The combat features a combo system, where players can set up status effects and debuffs on enemies to enable powerful follow-up attacks. Combining the complementary abilities of different ship/unit classes is crucial for tactical success.

Beyond the starbase, players explore the surrounding star systems, encountering various alien factions and events. Diplomatic relations with these factions can unlock new technologies, resources, and potential allies, adding an element of unpredictability and branching narratives to the gameplay.

❤ Crew and Officer Management

The commanders, or officers, that players recruit and assign to the starbase and ships can be customized and leveled up, unlocking new abilities and skills that directly impact the effectiveness of the player's forces. Managing the growth and deployment of these officers is essential for success.

As players progress, they research new technologies, upgrade their starbase, and expand their fleet of ships, providing a sense of growth and accomplishment. Additionally, the game's branching narratives and choices made throughout the playthrough can lead to different outcomes, enhancing the replayability value.
