Get Sword of the Stars and all three expansion packs (Born of Blood, Murder of Crows & Argos Naval Yard) in one mega bundle!

Sword of the Stars:

It is the year 2405 and human scientists have discovered a new technology, the Node Drive. This is an innovation that will finally allow travel from star to star at speeds faster than light. As mankind is poised on the brink of a new era, tragedy strikes, as the first inter-colony ship is destroyed and Earth is ravaged by an alien force. What was supposed to be the dawning of a new era instead was stymied by a grim, new reality. We are not alone...and we are no longer safe.

Born of Blood:

The year is 2445. Over 30 years have passed since the first stellar empires began to expand. Four races once set out to explore and conquer the galaxy, meeting in fiery clashes that spanned the universe. The first wars have passed and a promising age of diplomacy dawns.

Now a new alien race emerges shattering the uneasy peace. With new drive systems, ships, technology, and tactics, the Zuul burst onto the scene with a devastating agenda – not only will they conquer, they will control the entire universe - unless you put a stop to their destruction.

With savage ships and psychic powers, they enslave or annihilate all those who oppose them. As their galley disks descend to harvest slaves from neighboring races, all the other empires may be forced to put aside their grudges – if they do not unite against the Zuul, each race will be systematically exterminated. Form alliances and learn to work with your foes as you lead your fleets to victory in a universe at war in Sword of Stars: Born of Blood.

A Murder of Crows:

While the four civilized races battle back the voracious Zuul and seek advantage over each other, a ghost from the past returns to the galaxy in the form of the manipulative Morrigi. Already known for their dark crow-shaped attack drones and deadly traps, this race once thought long extinct, returns looking for vengeance.

Using never-before-seen weapons, ships and tactics, the Morrigi fall upon the other five races of the Sword of the Stars universe, who must now adapt to the ancient masters of space or be destroyed.

Time is of the essence as world after world falls to the black winged ships that surge out of the dark like A Murder of Crows.

Sword of the Stars: Argos Naval Yard

When the call to arms goes out to humanity, it is the Argos Naval Shipyard that answers! War still rages across the Sword of the Stars universe and new ships, new technologies and new weapon systems are needed if mankind is to survive the rising threats in the galaxy. But the Liir, Hiver, Morrigi, Tarka and Zuul are not resting either and they too work to have more in their arsenals than ever before.

From heavy drones to slicing plasma weapons to the dreaded long-range rail cannons, armouries are bursting at the seams. Shipyards are working non-stop to provide the newest in strafing, pursuit and blazer sections and scientists from a dozen disciplines create propaganda ships to bring worlds down without a shot, while for some races, the secrets of a distant past are revealed and put to work for their modern masters. Even the mighty Asteroid Monitors have become another station to be built to defend your worlds.

The wars continue but the Argos Naval Yard will ensure your fleets have more power and more options than ever.
