Asymmetric factions
Seven factions, each with its own abilities, politics and battle masteries — and five more to discover.
No dice
Combat is played with upgradable tactic cards: bluff, initiative and deduction. Never bad luck.
A living campaign
Built on the Aftermath, a legacy framework where every victory and defeat reshapes the universe.
The Fall of the Federation.
Centuries after the galaxy’s once-mighty empire collapsed, several species flee their dying worlds to rebuild what was lost. They all want the same thing. Only one of them will rule.
Control of their Fates.
As you take control of their fates, others will do the same — and stand in your way. Will you build an empire of peace and stability, or descend into conflict? Explore the galaxy’s deepest secrets together, or race toward a scientific age of discovery? How you face this awakening is up to you.
Expansion
Automata.Play solo, or add a rival.
An AI framework that fully automates any of the seven core factions. Play Fractal solo, or add up to two neutral opponents to smaller games. Behavior cards make nearly every decision — you simply follow a short decision tree.
