In Andromeda's Edge, you lead a desperate faction seeking to build a new civilization. You begin with only a space station, a few ships, and a handful of resources. Gather resources, claim moons, acquire modules, populate planets and build developments. You will battle opponents and compete with others to ascend the progress tracks: Science, Industry, Commerce, Civilization and Supremacy. Advancement on these tracks is rewarded both during mid-game events and at the conclusion, and is the key to victory.
