"Space Federation" is a series of browser-based, turn-based strategy game inspired by the now-defunct "Archmage". The series was first released as one game under the name "Galactic Conquest" (GC) in 2003 but later grew to include three other spinoffs of the game.

"Space Federation" was developed in Malaysia by independent IT developer Stephen Yong. When it was first released in February 2003, the game reached a membership of 417 within the first month.

Galactic Conquest

Galactic Conquest is the first game developed in the series. However, due to its high degree of complexity, it is less popular than Unification Wars.

Fictional Background

The United World Council is the Terran Council that monitors and safeguards the galaxy. In Space Federation - Galactic Conquest, you start off in the year 10,000 AD, 500 years after the collapse of the United World Council.With no proper single governance, the control and governance of each colony were soon taken over by self-elected leaders on their respective colonies. Peace does not stay for long as ambitious leaders expand their small empires by colonizing new planets as well as invading other weaker colonies.Several small empires form Space Federations as a means of banding together for the greater good of its Federation members. This is in hopes that a group of smaller empires can improve their standing against a single larger empire.As always, Human greed and lust for power slowly materializes into an unsatisfying thirst for further expansion and conquest. This is a time of chaos and war where the small empires must fight for their survival.This marks the start of an era where small empires and Space Federations fight for Galactic ConquestYou start off as the leader of one of the colonies scattered throughout the galaxy. This is where you start writing your own destiny.

Races

Players can choose among various races. While there are a total of eight races, only six of the races are playable, the remaining two races being reserved for Game Administrators to operate during "Special Events."

The first three races listed below (Terran, Aspha Miner, and Collective) are available to all players. The second three races (Marauder, Viral 106, and Guardian) are only available to play if you have a paid account or receive a paid coupon.

Terran

The information below is adapted from the game manual. [http://gc.gamestotal.com/i.cfm?p=manual&file=race2&rid=1]

The Terran race is a simple and balanced race. They are capitalist, industrialist, explorers, warlike and very curious. This allows Terrans to base their economy on many factors, such as commerce, industry, agriculture and taxation. Thanks to the curiosity of Terrans, they have explored and populated most parts of the galaxy, making it the most common race to be found. However due to their warlike manner, Terran colonies are almost always fighting with one another. All players have to start off with the Terran race first and are required to finish some of the initial missions prior to moving on to other races.

Fictional Background

The backdrop of this part of the series occurs half a millennium prior to the feudal period of empires and federations during the Unification War. Millennia ago, the United World Council was established for the Terran race to oversee Terran colonization. Though the organization matured and grew significantly in power over several millennia, there were immediate signs of corruption in the high ranks. Members of the Free Worlds Alliance, an organization dedicated to the freedom from complete Terran subjection, revolted against the Council's authority in what resulted as the Unification War. The war raged for several centuries with numerous casualties on both sides. The Free Worlds members themselves were Terrans, but they despised being subjected to the will of the Council.

3700 AD

Fictional Background

In the year 3700, the Terran race developed the technology of faster-than-light travel through space by constructing portals across systems. During the years after this development, scores of traders and merchants began their journey into space and exploring the new frontiers of the galaxy. Colonization was loosely controlled, forcing many systems to rely on their own security forces and on hiring mercenaries.

Ancient Worlds

Fictional Background

Ancient Worlds tells of a world of the Terran race prior to the days of space travel. the game is a risk style game set in the united kingdom that has been abandoned in development for unknown reasons. despite the abandonment of the game it is still a pretty good game despite the fact that it is really slow to play as you get to make a turn every 3 minutes.
