Gaming News - March 2003
Montreal, Quebec (March 26, 2003) - Publisher Strategy First and
developer Stardock announced today that their highly anticipated space strategy
game, Galactic Civilizations, has shipped to retail stores nationwide.
"With Galactic Civilizations we've really tried to create a strategy game

Wardell, Project Lead on Galactic Civilizations at Stardock.
“Fans of 4X strategy games have been waiting impatiently for Galactic
Civilizations to hit store shelves,” says Steve Milburn, Director of Marketing

manage an entire galaxy putting your military, strategic and diplomatic talents
to the test!”
From Strategy First:
The year is 2178 and the galaxy is evolving at an alarming pace. Years ago,
human scientists introduced a new technology, the “Hyper-drive”, which vastly
improved interstellar travel, but instead of forging closer bonds throughout the
galaxy, communication between civilizations has ground to a halt. Colonization
and a battle for supremacy have become the primary goals but only one race can
dominate…and survive.
