Reach for the stars and fight for intergalactic dominance on land, air, sea, and space. Battle for control of humanity’s known worlds as one of five Royal Houses and discover new planets while on your quest for the crown. Will you emerge as the supreme ruler of the Known Worlds?

Utilize combined arms tactics to overcome enemy positions and use the robust diplomacy engine to trade technologies, political offices, threats, favors, and even votes for the imperial crown. Can you lead your noble house, be it selfless Hawkwood, debauched Decados, scheming al-Malik, pious Li Halan, or militant Hazat, and become Emperor of the Fading Suns? The path to victory is up to you!

Enjoy a powerful economic engine that allows you to trade any of the dozens of resources you develop. Engage in diplomacy with the Church, Merchant League, and alien races to expand your reach across the known worlds. Betrayal, corruption, and shifting alliances await as you navigate the volatile political landscape of a galaxy teetering on the verge of collapse. Watch for the treacherous influence of the Church and the wrath of alien races—your path to power is fraught with uncertainty.

Recruit and command powerful forces, including theurgists, psychics, warbeasts, and mutant soldiers. Unleash these mighty legions in devastating combat and reshape the battlefield with your strategic prowess.
