Space (2200 AD)
The second half of the 21st century witnessed a great change
in the world. China stretched its imperial muscles, and by
2067 had seized control of many of the formerly sovereign
nations of southern and eastern Asia. A new country called
the United Federation of Asian Republics, known simply as
UFAR, was born.
Soon the pressures of feeding a rapidly expanding population
became oppressive, and UFAR sought other methods of supporting its people. Earth was overpopulated, and its everdwindling resources would never be able to foster UFAR’s
continued growth. UFAR looked to the stars to provide.
Soon, the dream of living in outer space became reality.
Scientific advancements allowed Mars’ barren land to bear
fruit, and the red planet became Earth’s breadbasket.
Colonizing Mars seemed to be the perfect solution to UFAR’s
problems, but very few things come without a price.
Administering the affairs of two planets is no easy task.

BUILDINGS, UNITS, WONDERS AND
CALAMITIES
Space Buildings
Space Dock
Epochs: 15
Produces: Space Ships
Researches: None
Area of Effect: Repairs ships within its
range
The Space Dock was the link between outer space and planetary life. Indeed, it was the key to living away from earth.
Ships of all shapes and sizes are built at the Space Dock,
from the Space Carrier, the home of speedy Space Fighters,
to the Space Transport which ferried goods and citizens
between planets. The Space Dock was also the birthplace of
the Space Capitol Ship, a heavily armored and armed spacecraft, and the Space Corvette.
A Space Dock can only be built on the border between land
and space.
Space Turret
Epochs: 15
Produces: Nothing
Researches: Nothing
Area of Effect: None
When humans settled in space, they had to discover new
means of defending their borders. Enemies could be lurking

Spy Satellite
The Spy Satellite, which can provide valuable information
about enemies, is built at the Capitol. It can travel through
space, but it is unarmed. The Spy Satellite first becomes
available during the Digital Age.
Palisades
The Palisades are a primitive first means of defense.
Becoming available in the Copper Age, these walls are built
from wood. They are not, however, as strong as walls made
from stone.
Wonder: Orbital Space Station
Martians, like many other humans, find a mixture of fear and
comfort when gazing at the stars. Looking across the heavens, Martians can see the Earth, from whence they or their
ancestors came, along with many other familiar planets,

anywhere in the vast expanse of the universe and could attack
an unsuspecting nation at any time. Space Turrets were built
as a first means of defense. These small structures were
capable of blasting enemy space ships out of the sky.
Space Turrets are built by citizens and can only be built on
the border between land and space.
Units and Upgrades
While the Space Dock was home to much of the new technology during the Space Age, important research occurred elsewhere. New advances were researched at the Granary and
Tank Factory, and the innovations helped to usher in the new
age.
Robotic Farm
The Robotic Farm revolutionized food production. Citizens
are no longer required to cultivate and harvest food, thus
freeing them for other uses. Robotic Farm technology is
researched at the Granary.
Anti-Missile Battery
The nuclear missile terrorized fearful citizens until the AntiMissile Battery was invented. The brain-child of weapons
specialists at the Tank Factory, the Anti-Missile Battery is
the only defense against nuclear missiles (see page 22 for
more on nuclear missiles).
Other New Units
The Space Age wasn’t the only era in which new technologies
were discovered. Other ages witnessed fantastic inventions.
