Smugglers V: Invasion

Smugglers V: Invasion is a single-player, turn-based space trading game set in a galaxy at war. The Federation, the Coalition, the Outer Rim systems and the criminal Syndicate fight for control. You can trade honestly or smuggle illegal goods, fight for a faction, explore the galaxy, or build and rule your own empire. Your actions can influence the war and have an impact across the galaxy.

Choose your path

You can play as an independent adventurer or join the military, taking on one of six professions, each with its own skill tree. The revised skill system offers more than 100 skills. You can manage a crew, become an Admiral and command fleets, or board enemy ships. You can also manage factories or pirate outposts, raid and plunder planets and outposts, conquer star systems, and rule an empire.
