Announcing Star Emperor for OS/2 Warp!
Fast paced space strategy game!

September 26, 1995 -- Canton, Michigan -- Stardock Systems, the makers of
Galactic Civilizations, announced their second full fledged OS/2 game --
Star Emperor today. Star Emperor is a game that uses the same gaming
engine that is underneath Galactic Civilizations to bring users a new and
powerful space based strategy game.

In Star Emperor, you must unite the galaxy under a single source of wisdom
-- yours. The entire game takes place in just a couple years of play with
each turn being a day. Unlike in Galactic Civilizations where you
developed your own technologies and created social improvements, Star
Emperor

The back drop to Star Emperor is a distant galaxy that is on the verge of
intergalactic warfare. The galaxy is breaking up into different "Clans",
each with imperial ambitions. The galaxy is filled with hundreds of
independent star systems in which you must send out emissaries to bring
them into your empire before they are swept into a competing empire. As
the number of non-aligned worlds decreases, tensions mount and warfare
becomes inevitable.

In Star Emperor, each star system has its own unique technology that is
often only available on that planet. In other words, some planets will be
able to build certain types of ships not available anywhere else. This
makes choosing which worlds to approach a strategic matter. You must
balance between what technologies you want versus what weapons you require
to maintain your grip on the galaxy.

"As one user put it, Star Emperor takes some of the military elements of
Galactic Civilizations and adds a whole new dimension to intergalactic
conquest. This game is really about conquest and destruction!" said Brad
Wardell, project manager of Star Emperor.

Stardock believes that Star Emperor will appeal to current customers of
Galactic Civilizations and that new players of Star Emperor will find a
new reason to purchase Galactic Civilizations.

"Galactic Civilizations was about creating intergalactic civilizations.
Star Emperor is about destroying them." said Wardell.

The shrink wrapped verison of Star Emperor will begin shipping on October 2
on CD ROM only for $49.95. It should be available at most retail outlets
on or around October 1. Ask your reseller for it by name.
