Forge alliances, broker trade deals, impose tariffs, or subjugate your competitors. Your choices define the balance of power in the sector.

Grow your family’s influence, placate ambitious relatives, and appoint troublemakers to distant colonies. Rise high enough, and even the Emperor may take notice.
