Imperium Galactica

Imperium Galactica. The Universe is yours... if you can handle it. The fourth millennium. Mankind has colonized the galaxy. Created an Empire. Now, it is crumbling. The aliens are restless. The oppressed are building armies. And a strange invader is headed for the heart of the Empire [note... who is this?? This isn't really mentioned in the game!] Imperium Galactica is praying a new leader will arise. You.
