Fortunately the exchange was relatively small, limited to less than a dozen warheads, and a global conflagration was narrowly avoided. Nuclear combat broke out between several Middle Eastern countries. The Small War of 2015 came close to obliterating civilization on Earth when Meanwhile, the fratricidal conflicts that had scourged mankind since the species evolved continued unabated. Less than a decade later, a tremor swept through the advanced life-forms beyond the solar system as American Astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin became the first men to tread Earth’s satellite moon.Īlien scrutiny of Earth intensified. Other aliens, meanwhile, benign species that wished only peace, lay plans to warn Earthlings of the Ur-Quan threat.įrom their strange worlds many light years away, both good and evil aliens watched with growing interest as Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit the planet in 1961.

As early as 1940, the Ur-Quan began to formulate sinister schemes to attack Earth. One of the species listening was the Ur-Quan, a life-form devoid of conscience or character, a race genetically compelled to conquest. It wasn’t long before the broadcasts from Earth reached distant stars, and several alien races took notice of this new evidence of life on the far-off blue planet. Until the transmissions began to pulse out into the vacuum of space, riding electromagnetic waves throughout the universe. The radio was a harmless diversion, really, until the radio towers got taller and the broadcasts got stronger. Humans had another quaint oddity in those days it was a little box called a radio that transmitted a mindless mix of music and speech. It’s all hard to imagine now, of course, getting from place to place in a dangerous noisy machine with an engine that set fire to spurts of prehistoric goo. Yet the story begins over two centuries before, in the 1930’s, a time when surface vehicles on Earth burned fossil fuels. Only in this way will you be prepared for the mystery, the intrigue and the blazing action of Star Control II. Study what happened, learn from the mistakes of those that went before.

The history that follows details the critical involvement of Earth in the conflict between the Alliance of Free Stars and the villainous Ur-Quan Hierarchy. The evil aliens you will encounter are adept at the art of war, and unforgiving of weakness. However, if you have never fought a Star Control space-battle, you may wish to practice with the SuperMelee game before facing enemy forces. You need not have played the first game to enjoy this one.

Star Control II is only in part a sequel to Star Control, which focused exclusively on the strategy and tactics of the bitter Ur-Quan Slave War (known by the philosophical as the Great Crucible of Sentience). As you travel out among the stars, your decisions and actions will directly affect the destiny of 18 intelligent, star-faring species, including the inhabitants of Earth. This epic adventure spans hundreds of light years, and evokes a history reaching back over 250,000 years. Star Control II will take you on a far journey, a space odyssey encompassing the realms of science-fiction and role-playing.
