The Pegasus Expedition

The Pegasus Expedition is a story-driven sci-fi grand strategy game about humanity’s attempt to survive an overwhelming threat at home. Earth sends an expedition to the Pegasus Galaxy to find refuge for its population, but the fleet becomes embroiled in an interstellar war it inadvertently started. You lead one of these fleets as its mission shifts from exploration to governance, conquest and survival. Your choices shape the galaxy, and alliances and crises you cause or endure leave their mark.

Lead the expedition

As Director of the Zeus Link fleet, you make critical decisions with your council of close subordinates and advisors. They report developments in the galaxy and help address the many crises and incidents you must resolve. The campaign is replayable and set in a vast, handcrafted world, with characters, side quests, twists and changing challenges.

You begin with a seasoned but small expeditionary fleet and must quickly build a functioning economy to keep it going. Supplies from home will not last indefinitely. You also manage scientific development and improve your forces and leaders with limited human resources, assigning admirals, governors and special forces operatives to the right roles.

Navigate diplomacy

The Pegasus Galaxy contains over 30 independent factions, with their own grudges, rivalries and fragile alliances. As a suspicious and despised newcomer under time pressure and high expectations, you negotiate dynamic deals and treaties and make difficult choices in dialogue. The diplomatic system is one of several ways to approach the campaign’s challenges.

Plan your wars

Combat focuses on planning at the level of whole warfronts. You choose strategies, move forces into position and weigh which losses you are willing to accept. Espionage and getting your fleets to the right place at the right time are important to success.

Face difficult choices

The story presents moral dilemmas where no one is perfect and the ends may have to justify the means. Decisions have consequences, while the expedition’s situation grows more difficult over time, bringing new threats, enemies, backstabbers and resistance movements. You develop technology to stay ahead of your foes, alongside your strategic and military plans.
