Imperial Realms is the next generation of online strategy games. When you've taken countless civilizations from the Stone Age to the Space Age, what's next? Where are you going to find the complexity and depth you crave in your gaming? The answer is Imperial Realms, a game as wide open and endless as the galaxy itself.

The scene is the distant future. As it spreads through space, humanity has fragmented into clans: the cyborged Spacers, the fierce Spartans, the treacherous Walkers, and others. Alien species ride the spaceways, like the Crucians, humanity's arch foes during the centuries long Great War and the aquatic Bappakana. Rumors persist, too, of the enigmatic Demons with their unknown mental powers.

After six millennia of peace, the Empire has been shattered into fragments by the mysterious disappearance of its most prosperous and most advanced worlds. Now, among the ruins, you must guide your clan in peace and war with dozens of warring factions, developing the alliances and technologies that will help you survive.

Imperial Realms is in ongoing development. If you want to see how a galaxy is built, bookmark this site to keep track of the latest progress, as well as text and artwork from the Imperial Library. For the latest development news, visit http://www.imperialrealms.net.
