The premise, in the publisher's words
The Empire gaming trilogy is a magnificient projection into the future, where the rise and fall of an intergalactic civilization is played out over light years of time and space. World Builders marks the dawn of the Empire, when citizens of this still infant society harness their crude technologies, seeking to conquer and colonize the galaxy. As you enter this gaming system, you will join the pioneers ... space travelers and scouts, relentless plunderers and honey-tongued missionaries, petty bureaucrats and their henchmen, asteroid miners and high-technology homesteaders. You can be any of them...or all of them. Three overriding objectives govern your every move... Survive! Conquer! Prosper!
