Welcome to Starship Syndicate, the tactical-based MMO set in a vast, fictional universe where

players control their own ships and engage in battles with other players or AI enemies. In this
game, you'll start by choosing your pilot’s name and launch your first starship. From there, you'll
use resources found or fought for to upgrade your ship, which serves as your main base of
operations. Your goal is to command your starship well and take over the universe.

But that's just the beginning! Starship Syndicate also lets you create or join a crew and complete
PVE, PVP, and resource collection missions together. Will you band together with others to
become a powerful alliance, or will you strike out on your own and take on the galaxy solo? The
choice is yours!

Combat comes in two different flavors: top-down shooting where you control your ship against
AI enemies, or auto battling against other players when you engage them in combat. Attack with
your crew or solo. The galaxy is a vast and dangerous place, but with enough skill and strategy,
you just might be able to rule it.

Starship Syndicate is perfect for gamers who enjoy MMOs and tactical games. Customize your
ship and crew, engage in epic battles, and become a true starship captain in Starship Syndicate.
