1. Victory conditions

Win by raising Concord political strength to at least three times the Scourge score. You lose if the Scourge reaches three times Concord’s score. Starships are worth five points, starbases two, and outposts one.

2. Screen components

The Quadrant display shows the galaxy and its strategic scans. The Tactical display shows the selected quadrant’s sectors. The legend identifies every icon. The command deck controls the active Concord starship, while the Galactic Report and Mission Log explain the current situation.

3. Turn sequence

Assign a captain to each Concord starship, then issue commands to the active ship. Moving to another quadrant or choosing Wait completes its activation. After all Concord ships act, the Scourge moves and resolves its turn, income and repairs are applied, and a new stardate begins.

4. Economy

Stars generate tellurite for the faction that controls their quadrant through a starbase or outpost. Tellurite builds new Concord starships at a Concord starbase. Protect political structures: they produce income and contribute to the score.

5. Commands

Galactic: Shows stars in each strategically visible quadrant. Use it to find tellurite-producing territory.
Radiation: Shows the radiation level in every quadrant. Level 1 damages a system and drains tellurite; Level 2 causes heavier damage; Level 3 destroys any ship entering or remaining there.
Scourge: Shows Scourge battlecruisers in strategically visible quadrants, helping you assess threats before moving.
Starships: Shows Concord starships in strategically visible quadrants so you can coordinate the fleet.
Political: Shows Concord and Scourge starbases and outposts. These structures claim quadrants, earn tellurite from stars, and add political strength.
Meteor: Shows meteor fields in strategically visible quadrants. Entering a meteor field by warp causes severe tellurite loss.
Torpedoes: Choose one to three photon torpedoes, then set an angle. Torpedoes cross the Tactical display and can destroy enemy ships and structures. They require operational torpedo tubes.
Phasers: Arm phasers, then choose a target sector in the Tactical display. Phaser strength depends on range and requires operational phasers.
Warp probes: Launch probes toward selected Tactical sectors. Probes can strike ships, bases, outposts, stars and meteors; their arrival can vary from the selected target. This command requires operational transporters.
Impulse: Move within the current quadrant by setting a heading and a distance up to one quadrant unit. It uses ship tellurite and requires operational impulse engines.
Warp: Travel between quadrants by setting a heading and distance. Warp costs tellurite, may cross dangerous meteor fields, and requires operational warp drive.
Build: At an unclaimed safe quadrant, establish a Concord outpost. At an existing Concord outpost, attempt to upgrade it to a starbase using tellurite and torpedoes. Build requires communications and transporters.
Wait: End the active starship’s activation without moving. The next Concord ship becomes active; once all have acted, the Scourge takes its turn.

Damaged systems disable their related commands until repaired. A destroyed system needs a Concord starbase repair opportunity.

Space Warp Probes

Choose a count, then select a Tactical sector for each probe. Wait for its movement and collision effects to finish before targeting the next probe. Each probe arrives in that sector 20% of the time, or 0.25 sectors away in one of eight directions, 10% each. Probes move 0.25 sectors every 0.5 seconds for up to 15 seconds. Collisions occur at sector centres. Meteor impacts and destroyed ships, bases and outposts leave a severe radiation icon. The final probe ends this activation. Radiation markers clear when the starship leaves or is destroyed. Friendly starships, bases and outposts can be destroyed.
