In the Gal6 Universe hope dies first. You cannot base your success on delusions of grandeur, only on your strategy and decisions. The greatest warriors clash here, always planning several steps ahead, but – if necessary – ready to change their strategy on the fly and turn the tide of battle. In Gal6, you can show what hidden skills you have!

To find your way in the Gal6 Universe, you must first familiarize yourself with the unique terms and rules of this extraordinary place. Here you can learn all the essential information and terminology that you could possibly need during your journey. You can become an active participant in a universe where brilliant strategists do combat for survival and power. To win, you must believe in yourself, but even more importantly you must have an excellent strategic mindset based on three elements: WAR, ALLIANCES and POLITICS.

Species

These are the six species of the universe. Their survival is dependent on their knowledge and strength, both of which are best pursued through research and construction. After you have taken ownership of your planet, your road to conquest starts by selecting your species. Your goal is to create a highly efficient army to loot the resources of hostile planets as you defend yourself and your allies from any hostile attacks.

Khaduuii

The Khaduuii are a species that never fight their own battles. The species consists of highly advanced individuals created by way of genetically accelerated evolution. Due to their respect for life, they do not use lethal weapons, but rather hire mercenaries to fight for them. Their ultimate weapon is their blocking technology, which is based on electromagnetic-impulses (EMI). In minor battles their ships may almost seem to be invulnerable. With precisely guided radiation, they can render whole fleets of ships disabled within seconds. Their mercenary force combined with their blocking technology makes up one of the most combat-ready forces in the Universe.

Digitrox

The Digitrox may be the most mysterious of all six species. They are not humans but intelligent machines. They have massive defenses made up of thick metal shields, though this armor makes them somewhat slower too. The spacecraft that they lose in battle are recyclable, so manufacturing is relatively cheap and quick. Their defense systems are highly reinforced, and with their penchant for Inter-computer Communications they can easily break into the electronic systems of other ships. Consequently, the Digitrox are capable of defeating larger fleets than one would expect. Among the other species, they have the strongest planetary defense system of all.

Piraati

As a species, the Piraati have evolved into a culture of theft and violence, the kind of people who, if in need of a ship, would sooner steal one than build it. The Piraati hackers are also reputed to be among the best in the Universe. The Piraati are highly trained professional soldiers, who are often sought out as mercenaries. They assimilate new technological developments via their extensive and well-organized hacker and spy networks. The warfare technique practiced by the Piraati requires relatively quick and lethal spacecraft. Their tactics tend toward speed and the use of surprise. The defense capabilities of their spacecraft are strong given their size, and their firepower is outstanding. In short, the Piraati are both unpredictable and brutal opponents.

Human

Humans are the most controversial of the six species living in the Universe. Despite their weaknesses, they are one of the most powerful species. They have the greatest variety of ships, so their tactical options are enormous. They can create large, strong and efficient machines with devastating power. The essence of their violent brand of warfare is to overwhelm the enemy with destructive force. They are aggressive both in war and in diplomacy. The devastating force of their weapons is enormous, and several types of their spacecraft are capable of separating into independent sub-parts to carry out simultaneous attacks from multiple sides.

Shin

The Shin, another mysterious species of the Universe, revere the power of the mind and are able to harness states of consciousness that allow them to use their thoughts as weapons. By the mere power of their thoughts they can do terrible violence to their enemies. With the help of nanotechnology, the Shin have also developed a cloaking technology that makes their ships and planets completely invisible. Standard techniques of probe espionage are essentially useless for gathering information on their activities or movements. In war they are exceptionally vicious and fanatical fighters who kill with pleasure. The combination of their psychic discipline and their advanced and efficient fleet makes the Shin a formidable opponent.

Zyk

The Zyk are hive insects that have adapted to the most austere cosmic conditions. The Zyk strength lies in numbers. Though infighting and violence between hive mates is common, the species still reproduces rapidly enough that their population outpaces most other species. They often use chemical and biological weapons, but in general, their spacecraft and weapons are somewhat primitive. Their numerical superiority consistently outweighs these disadvantages. Their tactics usually consist of rapid, aggressive advances on enemy positions, overrunning them by force. This style of warfare results in heavy losses, but this cost is considered acceptable. Their unique armor is made of organic material and provides an almost impenetrable shield.
