1.6.4
for A Murder of Crows

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.
