NOTES:

This is an assault map.  Players will be assigned teams and race by placement.  The game will start with no resources and only one crewed construction vessel.  Start off by beaming onto the starbase FIRST and then using that to re-crew other derelict ships/stations nearby.  BE SURE to wait for crew to accumulate before decommissioning your starbase(s).  Upon decommission you can begin construction of mining facilities.  Once the resources are attained, reconstruct your starbase and continue with normal construction of additional fleets and base structures.

Also, please note that this is a player-only assault map and cannot be used outside of multiplayer games.

MAP CONTENT:

Like most assault maps you will have a derelict station(s), ships, and one crewed construction vessel.  This map also comes with an additional star base which is already crewed near the wormhole for each team member.  This starbase is designed in this map as a head start crew resource, an outpost, and defensive structure.  A common tactic on this style of map is to build additional defenses around this starbase to help keep opposing enemy fleets from coming into your teams space.

On this map there is three different races that each of the two teams may choose from.  The Federation, Klingon, and Romulan.  Each race has different special weapons, some being especially useful to helping win this map over.  Be sure to look out for things such as this while you play.

The map is divided into parallel sides.  Per side there are 9 dilithium moons and 9 tritanium moons.  Each side has a wormhole, surrounded by dangerous nebulas which damage any ships that enter.  Small ships are very vulnerable to these nebulas and are often destroyed while trying to cross so rushing your opponents is not an option on this map.  Both sides of the map also have two regenerative nebulae and are good for healing vessels/fleets that have been damaged, invader or defender.
