 Long Description:

Stellar Empires for Windows is a fast paced strategic game of galactic 
conquest.  A player begins an empire with a single star.  Stars are added 
to an empire through colonization of uncolonized stars and annexation of 
stars held by other empires.  The game is complete when there is only one 
empire left.  The game is designed such that the more you play, the more 
features you learn, and the more challenging the game becomes.

Features
	o	Randomly generated star map allows virtually an endless supply 
		of different scenarios.
	o	Number of stars in a game may vary from 50 to 1500 for short, 
		medium or long games.
	o	Number of players may vary from 2 to 12 with any combination of 
		computer or human players.
	o	Totally mouse controllable, play a game and never touch the keyboard.
	o	Options to vary the difficulty and complexity of the game.
	o	Replay a game, as the same player or as another player.
