About this game

In Galaxy, you serve as Fleet Admiral of a newly commissioned starship armada. Launch ships from your home planet to explore a galaxy of unknown resources and discover worlds that may be barren, industrially productive, or resistant to colonization.

Conquer and colonize planets, convert them into ship-producing worlds, and expand your influence across up to 40 star systems. The computer generates a different galaxy for each game, creating a changing strategic challenge.

Multiplayer games support up to 20 players. When the game ends, the player controlling the most planets wins.
