Federation & Empire

Federation & Empire is a game of Total War. Every aspect of your empire is under your control, and is ultimately your responsibility. What ships do you build? What enemy ship types do you make a priority target? Is it better to take the fight to the enemy, or let him crash his fleets into your massive fixed defenses? Is it really worth one hundred destroyed starships to devastate the enemy capital? (Well, usually, it is.) Send ships on raids, loan fleets to your allies, and strategically shift your combat power.

Federation & Empire has extensive support via www.StarFleetGames.com, our discussion board, our massive 96-hour games at Origins, play-by-Email, and the most accessible designer in the industry. Federation & Empire is the core of an extensive system of expansion modules including Advanced Operations, Strategic Operations, Combined Operations, Planetary Operations, Fighter Operations, and ISC War.

Strategic Operations - Hospital ships to undevastate planets. Sector bases to bolster defenses. Operational bases to move the fight toward the enemy. Small transports to move around small things (money, people, etc.). Dozens of new ship types. Engineers to build defenses. Survey ships to find money. Diplomats that make deals that could delay war or just make money!

Combined Operations - Expanded and revised rules for F&E including Advanced Combat Table, Shock, Stasis Field Generators, Electronic Warfare, Commercial Convoys, Base Stations, Auxiliary carriers, Klingon 77th and Kzinti 23rd divisions, Hydran fighter and fire support pallets, LTTs, pods, Monitors, special attack forces, ground combat, prime teams, police ships.

Fighter Operations - This is the revised release of Carrier War, with updated rules, a complete revision to the GALE FORCE and FOUR POWERS WAR scenarios, and dozens of new carriers and escorts.

ISC War - The final empire comes to Federation & Empire as the Inter-Stellar Concordium arrives to keep the peace.

Minor Empires - This adds three empires to Federation & Empire. The Lyran Democratic Republic is more than just a renegade province of the Lyran Star Empire. It is a vital balance point between the Lyrans and Hydrans. The Vudar Enclave was far different than the Klingons tricked the Federation into believing, but it was still a player in the final years of the General War, locking up key territory in a â€œneutralâ€ enclave secretly much closer to the Klingon Empire than thought. The Seltorian Tribunal arrived late in the General War and asked the Klingons for a planet where they could set up a base to attack the Tholians. The Klingons were only too happy to have a new ally – unttil they discovered the Seltorian secret.
