Planetarion is a sci-fi based strategy game for many thousands of players. It is played through HTML interface, so no download of any kind is required.
Each player has 1 planet to look after, to develop technology on, to build ships and other units and take part in the universal struggle over resources in space; asteroids. The more asteroids you have the more ships can you build and the stronger you are.

Cooperation and teamwork is the key to do well in Planetarion. We have grouped 25 planets together in galaxies to make teamwork and communication easy. Galaxies tend to cooperate and fight against other galaxies. Many alliances have also formed and you should expect to see a handful of large alliances trying to dominate the universe. Huge alliance wars are not unheard of, although keep in mind that leading an alliance takes a lot of effort. Joining one is highly recommended, as politics are a major part of the game.

The more you put into the game, the more you get out. We have a very active community of players and most of the events are planned on IRC or via email, outside the game itself. And the social aspect of the game is therefore very important and fun. Make new friends and fight new enemies.

Every hour, the whole universe is "ticked". This means, new resources are gained, your fleets can move closer to the target if they out on a mission and it keep the universe persistent. This means, you do not have to be online all the time only when it suits you. Your planet is there all the time and your ships will fight if attacked, even if you are not there. So will the ships of others!

Know also, each "round" of Planetarion is reset after about 3-4 months (maybe more maybe less), where everyone has to start anew and the playing field is level. In each new round, there are new features in the game, you never know what the future will bring.
