"He wrought the earth, the heavens, and the sea; the moon also at her full and the untiring sun, with all the signs that glorify the face of heaven- [...] the Bear, which men also call the Wain and which turns round ever in one place, facing Orion, and alone never dips into the stream of Oceanus."
-The Illiad, Book XVIII
The battle over Orion's Gate has spread to the star cluster known as the Pearls of Ursa. New and terrible weapons and technology have been developed and unleashed, and a terrible foe of unfathomable scope has been disturbed...

New Options:
-Bohdi Jump Drive: Teleport across the map!
-Minelayers: Deploy deadly traps and cut off escapes!
-Mining Rigs, Cargo Holds, and Shipyards: Harvest resources off of destroyed enemies, and then use that to create your own support craft! (We also suggest "Mine The Asteroid" missions as possible custom scenarios as well)
-Tractor Beams: Get over here!
-Salvage Bay: Put destroyed components you find in debris clouds to good use!
-Infection: Who wants a hug? (Gives bonus in ramming other ships)
-Breaching Pods (New Craft Type, now an option in addition to Fighters, Bombers, and Mining Rigs for ships with Hangars): Bombard the enemy ship with troops to board it and destroy it quickly. Shame the pods are one-way only...
Introducing a new fleet: Organics! Use their weird living ships to smash the enemy in a brutal spiked ram with their massive claws, while clouds of their Drone support craft overwhelm your defenses.
