Fighting in the War

Galactic War: Season Zero runs from July 20 to August 2. Every Co-op match played during this period advances the chosen alliance’s progress. Alliances capture planets and extend their influence across the galactic map based on mission difficulty and completion level.

You can play with a random ally, AI teammate, or party with a friend!

Scoring

Each planet controlled by the Alliance at the end of the event awards points.
Unspent influence remaining in the Alliance pool awards 1 point per 100,000 influence.
5 points are deducted for each Pirate remaining in an Alliance’s systems at the conclusion.

On August 2, the war will conclude. The alliance with the most points will win, and its creator will be crowned Galactic Emperor.

Community Clip Contest

The top 10 clips, selected by community vote, will award $100 to both the featured streamer and the player who submitted the clip.

In-Game Rewards

Players can earn exclusive portraits and titles by reaching milestones throughout the season. Some rewards can be unlocked simply by playing, while others will require skillful victories and strategic use of influence.

The winning alliance will also help shape the global reward granted to all Galactic War participants at the end of the season, as well as the theme of a future Galactic War season.

The galaxy awaits its ruler. Choose your alliance, rally your teammates, and fight for supremacy in ZeroSpace Galactic War: Season Zero!
