The Rebels are unlocked by beating all the scenarios on normal. The Federation is the largest economic force in the galaxy and their navy is used for enforcing contracts rather than war. Their ships vaguely resemble Star Trek style ships painted a deep blue. Their ships are an average mix of reasonably fast fighters, decent frigates, and cruisers that can easily perform any number of tasks. Races FederationĪs the starting race, the Federation is the least surprising of the four factions. The main game actually takes place before each battle in the ship customization and fleet deployment stage. As a general, you give out overarching orders that your units will attempt to follow on their own. The objective is not to directly order ships around. Gratuitous Space Battles resembles a real time strategy game at first glance, but the game has more in common with tower defense games combined with editors in certain 4X games.
