Description
  
SpaceCombat is a space simulation game, like TIE Fighter or Decent Freespace. You can fly different space ships in several missions. Missions are connected to campaigns. It's a single player game. No multiplayer mode planned.

 Note, that it's recommended to play the game with a joystick.
 
 The game itself is published under the GNU GPLv3
 
. So, you may download
 
, publish and modify the game. But, every time you do it, the result also have to be under the GNU GPLv3 (or a later one). There are some included libraries as well as some musics, that come with it's own licence. Have a look at this file

  When you want to create own missions/campaigns/AI set, you should look at the documentation

Story
 
 The background story of the main campaign is settled in a future universe. It's related to the setting created by
 
in his novels of the Robot series
 
. But, in my setting no robots appear and the conflict between Spacers and Terrans escalates.
 
Timeline
 
 2053: First permanent colony founded on mars.
 2104: Mars II declared independence of the outer colonies from Terra.
 2106: Independence war ended, when Terran forces destroyed Jupiter moon Callisto with a planet cracker bomb.
 2124: Hyper drive engine was invented on Ganymede colony.
 2125: First space flight to an other solar system was done.
 2135: Aurora, the first colony outside the sol system was founded.
 until 2200: 18 other colonies were founded in other solar systems.
 2214: The Spacer League declared independence from the sol system. Aurora became the formal headquater of the Spacer League. After that, the terrans declared war and attacked several outposts of the Spacer League.
 2217: The terran forces were defeated in the battle of Pollux IV. They lost about 80% of their space fleet. In the result, the terrans were banned in the sol system and the Spacer League became the new destiny of mankind.
 2219: The remaining space forces of the Spacer League became the Space Guards. Their mission is to ensure the safe travel through space. They are the executive authority in space.

 2614-Today: Free trading between the spacer worlds ensures wealth, the competition of products ensures research and development. This way, science advanced. The former colonies developed their own way of life.
