About this game

Colony Wars: Vengeance is a cockpit-view space combat game set after the defeat of the Earth Empire. The remnants of the regime are trapped within the Sol System, where rival clans and factions battle among the ruins of a depleted civilization.

Players take on missions in open space and inside planetary atmospheres. Before launching, weapons can be combined and equipped on a space fighter. Ship controls include 360-degree movement, thrust, braking, weapon selection, tractor-beam activation, communications, and navigation. The game uses a simplified flight model in which objects gradually slow down rather than maintaining realistic inertia.
