About this game

Start your own personal journey in the Hades Galaxy, or continue guiding the Empire you started in Hades' Star.

DARK NEBULA is the next evolution of the Hades galaxy. With familiar but well-refined activities, as well as brand new activities, building a Space Empire has never been more rewarding. 

Create and grow your space Empire, in a persistent galaxy that constantly evolves.

EXPLORE AND COLONIZE YOUR VERY OWN YELLOW STAR SYSTEM

As the most stable star type, the Yellow Star offers a perfect setting to establish your permanent presence and plan your Empire's long term economy. All new players start in their own Yellow Star system and over time expand to discover and colonize more planets, set mining patterns, establish trade routes and neutralize the mysterious alien ships found throughout the Hades galaxy.


As the owner of a Yellow Star system, you have complete control over what other players have access to it. By establishing diplomatic relations, you can allow any other player to send ships to your system, and dictate your own terms for mining, trade or military cooperation.


COOPERATIVE PVE IN RED STARS


Very early in the game, every player will build a Red Star Scanner, a station that allows them to jump ships to detected Red Stars. These stars have a small lifetime and will go supernova after 10 minutes.


The goal in the Red Star is to co-operate with any other players that have ships in that star system, defeat the NPC ships, retrieve Artifacts from the Red Star planets, and jump back before the Supernova. Artifacts can be researched in the home star and will yield necessary resources for trade, mining and combat advancements. Higher level Red Stars offer more challenging enemies and better rewards.


TEAM PVP IN WHITE STARS

Players can organize in Corporations. Besides helping each other, Corporations can also scan for White Stars. A White Star sees 20 players from two Corporations battle in the same star system for Relics, a resource that can be retrieved to upgrade the Corporation and give each member additional benefits.

Time passes by very slowly in White Stars: every match lasts for 5 days, giving Corporation members time to talk and coordinate their strategy. The Time Machine can be used to plan future moves, communicate them to other Corporation members, and see potential outcomes of future combat.


EXCITING PVP IN BLUE STARS

Blue Stars are short lived combat arenas that only last for a few minutes, during which the entire system is collapsing on itself. Each player can only send a single Battleship to the Blue Star. The 5 participating players combat each other, using their ship's modules and other NPC ships to destroy the other player Battleships and be the last one alive.

Blue Stars offer the fastest PvP action in the game. Regular participants receive daily and monthly rewards to advance their Empire.

I wish there was a way to hide the grid view in the home system. One thing I would REALLY enjoy to see is the ability to collect all shipments with one click while using the shipment relay. This would allow users to know their total hydrogen cost for collection. I wish I could link a second account so I could play another account when things were going slow on the other. Also, it doesn't make sense for planet upgrade costs to steadily increase while the credit cap increase remains unchanged.

This game has been surreal for me. Even though it has been less than 48 hours since I installed it, I was immediately hooked. It is not completely like the other games where the devs make you pay to get more resources. It still has benefits if you pay, though. However, as fun as it has been, I do have a few suggestions. These include Offline Mode, making a corporation space (such as a system all to the corporation), additional ship classes such as transports and diplomacy vessels. 6/5

It's super fun and addictive, I wish there was a chat, though. It makes it hard to recruit for a corporation, and if no one is in yours, it makes the game quit and boring. Or even a way to send invites to players who log on recently and need a corperation. It's caused me to fall off and on occasionally, but I've played this game since the last version before this new app was created.
