IMPERIAL WARSİ is a richly detailed, completely graphical, online, turn-based, science fiction meta-game of strategy, diplomacy, exploration and conquest. It is set among 350 worlds of an ancient stellar empire, with ancient and powerful artifacts such as the Jewels of Power and Imperial relics and gems. 16 Starlords playing one of seven character types must cooperate and compete via in-game email to fully develop their empires and character attributes. While role-playing is not required, it is often the important diplomatic difference in how players determine allies or enemies in their inter-twined empires. Game turns are controlled by the players themselves turning as quickly as all moves are submitted but no later than a paced deadline of 1 to 4 days. Each universe is automatically and uniquely created for each new set of worldwide players.
