video game: PC - Sins of a Solar Empire

Sins of a Solar Empire is a 4X-strategy game (explore, expand, exploit and exterminate) similar to the Civilization Series but instead of being turn-based, everything happens in real-time.
Set in space, three factions compete over the control of the star clusters. The first one is the Trader Emergency Coalition (TEC) is a more industrial and somewhat traditional faction. The Advents are instead one collective of believers also known as the Unity. They prefer to use PsiTech over everything else. The last group is the Vasari Empire. The Empire was nearly destroyed 10.000 years ago and now prepares his comeback with brutal force and highly developed military vessels.
