Become the emperor of space.
A browser game about colonizing dusty nebulas, building up your planet and fighting your way into space with a fleet of mother ships. It ran for almost ten years. This page keeps its memory alive.
The premiseMankind outgrew the Earth.
The story starts in the near future. People run out of room on Earth and move out to the dusty nebulas of outer space. You start with a small colony and decide what it becomes.
The world kept running when you logged off. You made your own rules: build up cities, take over abandoned planets, or go for the biggest pirate fleet. Alone or in an alliance, the goal stayed the same, to become the strongest ruler of space and time.

The crewThank you, builders
Innebula took years of evenings, bug fixes and late releases. Thank you to everyone who designed it, programmed it, drew it, tested it and kept it running.
And thank you to every player who logged in, built a colony and gave the universe a reason to exist.
Fly safe, commanders.

Your message is in transit. It has to clear the scanners, where bots and spam get stopped, and then fleet command approves it before it docks in the log. Come back in a day or two.
