About IGW - Imperium: Galactic War™ Classic

THE NEXT-GEN MMORTS

Ever wanted to play a sci-fi game that is an MMO with a single persistent SANDBOX universe instead of 100+ game worlds, that offers real-time strategy combat, an RPG storyline with thousands of fully voiced-over lines of dialogue, an awesome community, faction vs faction warfare with battles with thousands of simultaneous players on an unprecedented scale... If you answered yes, this is your game.

COMMAND INTERSTELLAR FLEETS

Customize fleets of starships catered to your play style and tactics. Fly off into the galaxy and fight real time strategy battles!

BUILD YOUR EMPIRE

When you start the game, you will be located in a remote sector of space on a newly built starbase. From this base, you can construct buildings that increase the defensive and offensive capabilities of your base and fleets. There are many different types of buildings available for you to build, including those used to create fleets, those that provide technological upgrades, and those that provide a steady stream of resources for continued construction and research.

COMMAND INTERSTELLAR FLEETS

You can create powerful fleets to defend your base and attack your enemies. Fleets are composed of specialized components that follow a "rock paper scissors" style combat model. However, keeping your fleets in good condition requires upkeep, repair, and upgrades, which can be costly. One way to offset these costs and keep your empire growing is by conquering and raiding enemy bases, both those controlled by other players and those controlled by NPC enemies.

Enter Center Space

Players can expand their empires into Center Space by building more starbases to earn bonuses for their faction. To this end, they can form or join alliances with other players of the same faction to maximize their ability to contend with their opponents. This kind of large-tent encouragement keeps seasoned players playing and keeps new players coming back.

GALAXY FULL OF DANGER

Your starbase is in constant danger but you and your faction can fend off all would be attackers. Players can build stalwart defenses around their starbase to protect them from both enemy player and NPC armies, and help protect their allies from attack with their fleets. Strategy is paramount as enemy players create more powerful fleets with which to raid and pillage.

BE THE PIRATE!

It’s a dog eat dog galaxy and you’re out to make your faction the top dog. By playing aggressively, players can gain more resources and amass greater strength. Attacking other player’s starbases is a good way to take their resources and reduce their effectiveness, thereby reducing their threat to you and your faction while equipping your to surpass them even further.
