What is Ash
The most ancient and powerful planet nations of the Lantean Empire have been thrown into a galactic civil war. After a millenia of stable, but uneasy, peace, a sudden an unexplained interdimensional rift known as The Split has caused a decade long galactic civil war. As the war rages on, and relationships deteriorate, the leader nation of the Empire, Atlantis, struggles to maintain its thousand year long control over the fractured planet nations of the Empire.
Ash is an immersive 4x empire building space opera played over multiple rounds of expansion, empire building, and war intermixed with political jousting and senate diplomacy. Take control of 1 of 10 legendary galactic factions of the Lantean Empire to defend your claim to power and control of the Empire.
Players will build fleets, economic engines, defend their planets in layered defense strategies with meaningful and fun combat mechanics, out manneuvre their opponents, and strategize diplomatically in the galactic senate by creating and abolishing laws and alliances that affect the entire galaxy. Claim victory through strategic long term planning of your faction's unique win conditions or through imperial domination!
