Description: The Earth is fully stripped of natural resources by the fifth millennium. As a result, the Earth Empire sends out expeditionary sleeper ships to distant planets found to have abundant natural resources and harvest them. The discovery of hyperspace technology accelerates the Empire's interstellar expansion. As the colonies become more prosperous, the inhabitants begin to feel discontent over most of their mined resources being used for Earth's benefit. A peaceful insurrection in the 48th century only results in the Earth Empire's leader, the Tzar, personally leading the destruction of a rebellious planet. Stunned by the carnage, The Earth is fully stripped of natural resources by the fifth millennium. As a result, the Earth Empire sends out expeditionary sleeper ships to distant planets found to have abundant natural resources and harvest them. The discovery of hyperspace technology accelerates the Empire's interstellar expansion. As the colonies become more prosperous, the inhabitants begin to feel discontent over most of their mined resources being used for Earth's benefit. A peaceful insurrection in the 48th century only results in the Earth Empire's leader, the Tzar, personally leading the destruction of a rebellious planet. Stunned by the carnage, the other colonies band together as the League of Free Worlds, with a man known as the Father leading the fight.The Empire's Colonial Navy sends a fleet to attack League forces in the Gallonigher system, but the League executes hit-and-run strikes as they fall back to the main capital planet, Bennay. When the Navy overextends its forces for the assault on Bennay, the League lures them into a trap inside a nearby asteroid belt, where the Navy strike fleet is destroyed.The game picks up several months after what is now known as the Battle of Bennay, when the player character signs up for combat duty with the League as it fully mobilizes for war. If the player succeeds in Gallonigher, the League will proceed to the Draco system. If the player is defeated in Gallonigher, the League will survive, but will retreat to resupply bases in the Diomedes system before launching an attack on Alpha Centauri. It is also possible to be sent to Alpha Centauri by performing poorly during the Draco campaign.Depending on how well the player performs, the game can end in one of five ways:
If the player loses any Act in the Diomedes system, the ending will see the Empire launch a fierce counterattack that crushes League forces in the system and chases them back to Gallonigher. The Tsar's personal flagship, the Super Titan-class dreadnought Tsunami, appears to destroy the League remnants.
If defeated in Alpha Centauri, a group of League soldiers discontented with the war, called The Faction, win the upper hand against their former allies. The colonies are then enslaved and strip-mined by the Empire, who fully supported the Faction.
If victorious in Alpha Centauri, the League and the Empire reach a tactical stalemate. With both sides realising that neither could ever truly destroy the other, they make peace after The Faction's destruction. The League gains independence, but agrees to support the Earth Empire and the preservation of the Sol system as tribute to its status as mankind's birthplace.
If defeated in Sol, the League is forced to retreat, sealing the Sol warp hole behind them and effectively imprisoning the Earth Empire. Despite having a dark outcome, this ending sets up the plot for Colony Wars: Vengeance, a sequel set 100 years later.
If the player is victorious in Sol, the Tsar and his Earth Empire are entirely destroyed, beginning a new age of peace and freedom for humanity as the former Empire citizens finally migrate to the colonies. A sixth ending is very much the same as the Sol system ending, except that it is extended a few more seconds because of the appearance of a large disc-shaped starship with the sun in the background. This ending is only unlockable if the player accomplishes all missions in the path from Gallonigher to Earth. ... (more)

"Release Date: October 31, 1997 (NA) Publisher: Psygnosis Developer: Psygnosis Genre: Shooter - 1st Person I'm generally not a fan of this kind of game - stuck in a cockpit, shooting at stuff...Yet Colony Wars kept me playing far longer than I intended to play. While I don't think that I'll ever really go back and play this game again, it was fun while it lasted...and again, since I'm not really a fan of this genre, that's a big compliment. If you're into these types of games, you'll likely love"
