Children of a Dead Earth is a hard-science-fiction space strategy game. It is meant to show what space warfare could be like with the limitations of real science and current technology. After Earth was consumed by a runaway greenhouse effect, humanity took to the nearby planets. Now, conflict brews between two major factions, the United Sol Trade Alliance and the Republic of the Free People.
