is a turn-based game of exploration, discovery, empire-building, and conquest, set on an alien planet in the early 22nd century.
You are the leader of a faction that has just crash-landed on the surface of Alpha Centauri. You must now explore the area around you, discover how to survive and expand on the alien world, build up an empire, and conquer rival factions who seek to undermine your goals.
You can play as one of seven factions, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, from the warlike Spartan Federation to the ecologically-conscious Gaia's Stepdaughters to the profit-hungry Morgan Conglomerate. Conquer the planet through military might or lead your people to the next level of human evolution.
This demo captures the early excitement of the game by providing a limited 100-turn single player game. The demo allows you to select one of the seven unique factions to control, each with it's own agenda, strengths and weaknesses. As the demo begins, you will construct your headquarters base and begin mankind's next great endeavor on the facinating new world of Alpha Centauri. Although the demo places certain limits to your faction's potential to grow into an advanced empire, you will still find plenty to explore, discover, build and conquer.
