Dust Fleet

It’s the 24th century, and space colonization is going poorly. Hyperspace has opened up the stars, but habitable worlds are scattered, overcrowded, and our civilization is in dire need of resources. For over a hundred years, our appetites have been satisfied by the incredibly rich Dust Zone, managed jointly by the United Earth Nations and the Zone Mining Cooperative. But humanity has only been doing well for about a hundred years.

Now things are going badly again: cargo ships are no longer bringing resources, and humanity is facing an unprecedented crisis. The commander of the UEN’s best fleet must travel to the Dust Zone, find out what happened there, and prevent a resource crisis while it’s still possible. In a turn-based management mode, you must demonstrate your strategic skills, and then move to the front and command troops in intense space battles in real time.
