"PROLOGUE - A New Dawn (Multi-Player Events Version)
It is the year 2200, the dawn of the 23rd Century. The younger races are
finally close to achieving space flight and so the saga begins....
As leader of your species, research technologies, grow your empire, seek
out new lifeforms (Gold Crosses) and new civilisations. Boldly prepare for
the challenges that are to come. Currently, travelling on impulse power
limits your reach to the planets of three nearby solar systems. You must
research warp drive and a freighter design before you can expand further."
