Star Control: Origins
Star Control: Origins is a science fiction action-adventure game that combines planetary exploration, diplomacy with alien races, and one-on-one ship-to-ship space battles. Players captain a starship, sending a lander to survey planets, gather resources, and examine artifacts, then spending those resources on new technologies, weapons, upgrades, and ships from other races. The top-down Fleet Battles pit two vessels against each other and can be played against the AI or in multiplayer. It is considered part of the Star Control series but takes place in a separate universe from the original games.

About This Game
When humanity finally develops the technology to reach beyond its home system in 2088, Star Control dispatches its first interstellar vessel to answer a cryptic alien distress call—a mission that falls to the player as the ship's commanding captain. What unfolds is far more expansive than a simple rescue operation, as the captain charts a course through uncharted space and encounters a tapestry of alien civilizations, each with their own agendas and grievances. The relationships forged and conflicts navigated with these extraterrestrial powers become the catalyst for an evolving adventure, with each world visited and each species met introducing new mysteries and challenges that progressively pull the captain deeper into the galaxy's complex political and existential landscape.
