Description
The award-winning Star Chamber re-launches and begins the final chapter of The Harbinger Saga on with the release of an all-new expansion, Maelstrom. Players assume the role of one of the races of the Republic and must combine the careful planning of a turn-based strategy game with the unexpected twists and turns of a dynamic trading card game in order to determine the future of a galaxy. Players can lead their homeworld to supremacy by a variety of methods – military conquest, cultural achievement or political domination. Maelstrom takes place against a backdrop of strife in the Republic; the Emperor has disappeared and tensions between his followers and rival separatists threaten to pull all of the galactic races into full-scale war. As fighting spreads across the galaxy and cagey diplomats and politicians bid for power in the neutral ground that is the Star Chamber, scholars unearth an ancient legacy, one that all races believe key to its destiny.
