Space Pirates and Zombies takes place far enough in the future that Earth has become a toxic backwater planet. The galaxy has been colonized by humans, and the only means to travel to new star systems is through highly restricted and well defended warp gates. It is well known that systems closer to the galactic core become richer and richer as well as more scientifically advanced. This has led to theories of a secret system with a cache of treasure or knowledge at the galactic core feeding this growth. As a pirate, you must assemble a fleet and discover what treasure awaits you there.

Space Pirates and Zombies is a mix of the deep old school space adventure genre with modern physics, action and graphics technology.
