Shattered Suns gives you the power to wage war in all three dimensions of space with a fleet of ships designed by you. Customize each class of ships for a specific purpose: mining resources, transporting resources, defending territory, invading enemy territory or whatever else you can imagine. Build your own custom weapons from a wide variety of payloads and delivery systems among other options. Create squads of ships that work together to bring down heavy targets, such as one ship to bring down the target's shields and another to lay waste to it.

Orbiting planets challenge you with an ever-changing battlefield. Planets once safe from attack become vulnerable when they orbit within range of an enemy-controlled planet. Supply lines grow or shrink as planets and moons move further away or closer together. Reinforcements for an invasion may have to travel longer or shorter distances throughout the invasion as the invaded planet moves further or closer to the nearest station building reinforcement ships.

Back on the homefront, you'll need to manage your wartime economy to reach ultimate victory. Mining ships gather crystals and ore from planets and moons and take them to nearby space stations which use these resources to build more ships. Create a network of trade ships to transport resources from wealthier stations to those with fewer supplies.
