Baddies

Your Fleet. Their Feet.No release window

Four commanders on a living map. Hold the sky with a fleet you fitted yourself, fight the solar system like a campaign, then lock the station in person. The galaxy is large enough to starve a supply line. The armies on the ground are large enough to matter. Glamour is a ledger, and the claim is a walked deck.

The four, specific to this fleet

Cel-shaded anime concept of a fictional adult alien admiral planting a standard on an orbital deck, boots on the plating, berths beyond the glass.

Expand

Berths, not paint.

Territory is a chain of orbital berths you can supply. The fleet holds the sky. The claim locks when a commander sets foot on the deck. Past the sectors you control, a warp is a raid, not a road.

Exploit

Yards, tribute, FeetPics

Hulls come off the yard. Walked stations pay tribute. The scandal ledger is FeetPics — desire spent until it looks like an economy.

Explore

Unconfirmed space

Scouts return rumors. Ancient rooms open for a seal carried in person. Suns can die and take the system with them.

 Cel-shaded anime concept of a fictional adult admiral on a captured bridge, a solar-system battle beyond the glass.

Exterminate

Bridge, then ground

Break the formation in the solar system, then fight the tug-of-war on the surface. Up to seven battlefleets. Nothing here is a balance patch.

Design influences

Six ideas, one fleet.

The scale and the feel come from games I love. This fleet is its own game. Nothing here is a licensed follow-on, and nobody else is endorsing it.

How this project uses AI

The admiral pictures and the battle frames on this site are made with an image model. They are original characters, fictional adults, not photographs of anyone. In the game, AI is meant to show up in two places you can feel: an opponent that retrains on your own campaign, and a story director whose involvement and event rate you set yourself.
