What Earth and Beyond is

Earth and Beyond is a role-playing (rpg) game developed by Westwood Studios and released in 2002. It was published by Electronic Arts. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The discovery of an ancient stargate, initially concealed by the Jenquai and later revealed by a Terran spy, triggered the Gate War: a nine-year conflict among the three races. The war concluded with a ceasefire and an agreement to share control of the Gate. During this time, the Terran corporation InfinitiCorp secretly reverse-engineered the technology, resulting in the creation of the Infinitigate. Fifty years later, the three races have expanded into multiple star systems. While peace persists, underlying distrust remains, and the possibility of renewed conflict continues to influence relations.
