Newly promoted captains race to build renown by exploring a shifting galaxy, handling missions, and upgrading their ships and crews for the major factions.

Gameplay

Score the most reputation by placing crew on your ship to take actions, moving through space to visit locations, and completing missions and pirate encounters while upgrading your crew and ship. The pressure is choosing what to pursue before rivals claim the best opportunities and your timetable runs out.
