Project history

  In September '2004 three friends - Chaos, Da Stranger and Viskas - came up with an idea to create a real-time cosmic strategy. Real work on it started a month later. In the beginning the game was supposed to be a remake of an old DOS strategy Space Federation, but soon it became clear that the game would be more like  HomeWorld-2.

  In January '2005 Hostage[Test] joined the project and together with Da Stranger they formed the core of the project team.

  In April-August '2005 project was abandoned, material for the design document was being gathered. In September '2005 work on the project project was continued.

  In December '2005 project project got its current domain.

  In January '2006 a techno-demo was released. After it work on the engine was ceased. During next year only independent components and modules were developed.

  In February '2006 there was an attempt to merge with another team, but their members fled during the next couple of months.

  In March-July '2006  two talented designers joined the team. Though they left after a while, they founded a unique style for several races.

 In August '2007 after a year of almost no work by anyone the project was officially closed.
