A strategy game of epic exploration and cataclysmic combat...
Discover, colonize and conquer as you spread your fleet across the galaxy. A
massive campaign and 20 ready to play scenarios plus Random Maps and a Scenario
Editor give you incredible replayability. This updated re-release of Reach For
The Stars shows you what galactic conquest is all about!
Sixteen unique species with superior AI and a comprehensive Diplomatic system
create a challenge for strategists that is not easily overcome! Full R&D
trees take you through multiple eras and include technologies for your colonies
and your fleets.

the 2000 release from Strategic Studies Group, the developers of the original
