GAME SUMMARY
While the four civilized races battle back the voracious Zuul and seek advantage
over each other, a ghost from the past returns to the galaxy in the form of the
manipulative Morrigi. Already known for their dark crow-shaped attack drones and
deadly traps, this race once thought long extinct, returns looking for
vengeance.
Using never-before-seen weapons, ships and tactics, the Morrigi fall upon the
other five races of the Sword of the Stars universe, who must now adapt to the
ancient masters of space or be destroyed.
Time is of the essence as world after world falls to the black winged ships that
surge out of the dark like A Murder of Crows.
