Command.

Conquer.

Build Your Legend.

A free-to-play browser strategy game set in the fractured fringe of space. Build a mercenary regiment, take contracts from governments and warlords, and fight turn-based tactical battles across alien worlds.

// LORE_FILE_2387.CE

The Great
Expansion

It is 2387 CE. The Terran Compact has collapsed under the weight of its own bureaucracy, leaving the outer colonies to fend for themselves. Trade lanes fractured. Planetary governments rose and fell.

In the vacuum left behind, the mercenary regiment became the only law that mattered.

You command one such regiment — a fighting force built from veterans, salvaged war machines, and cold credits. Governments, corporations, and warlords all need soldiers they can hire and discard.

"In the fringe, there is no honor. There is only the contract."

Everything a Commander Needs

REGIMENT

Build & Manage Your Regiment

  • Recruit infantry, artillery, and armor units
  • Assign weapons, protection, and mobility equipment
  • Promote companies from Recruit → Veteran → Elite → Legendary
  • Build Battalion HQ systems: Anti-Air, EW Jammers, Anti-Artillery
COMBAT

Turn-Based Tactical Combat

Deploy on hex-grid battlefields. Move. Attack. Use HQ abilities. Outsmart enemy AI across 12 distinct contract themes — volcanic badlands to frozen ice shelves.

  • Fog of war — scout before you strike
  • Terrain matters — rough ground grants defense bonuses
  • Mountains block line of sight
  • HQ Abilities: Airmobile strikes, Recon Drones, Ground Support

From the Commanders

The equipment progression is surprisingly deep for a browser game. I spent an hour just optimizing my battalion loadout.

Losing to a Rival because they had Anti-Air Tier 3 blocking my Airmobile felt brutal. In the best way.

First browser strategy game in years that made me think about turn order before clicking.
