Pirate Galaxy is a free-to-play, massive multiplayer online game written in Java.[1] Players can operate spaceships, explore vast amount of planets, mine minerals, fight other players and enemies in the planetary combat. The game features 3D graphics and runs from a downloadable client.

Story

After a group called The Mantis conqures many star systems, very few pilots are left to recruit more people to fight.

Players start off on a planet called Calabash, in the Vega system as a smuggler. After the completion of a certain number of missions, the player goes to Axiom. Players will get to other planets and also join "The Colonials", which are at first their enemy. After a battle with the Mantis mothership, the player will achieve access to a new star system called Antares. Here, the player meets the Admiral and will help him find his daughter. After completing a series of missions, the player gets to Gemini, where the player meets Isaac, Sara, and the villagers who survived the war with the Mantis. Upon finishing the Gemini storyline, the player will reach Mizar, another star system where they meet the Baum Arian Fighters. After the completion of the missions in Mizar and yet another boss battle, the player will reach their own star system, Sol, which is now controlled by Imperials. After stealing an ancient artifact from the Emperor of Sol, the player once again battles a massive Mantis ship which is controlled by Lord Fam Doom, whom the player met in the Vega system. After completing the boss fight, the player gains entrance to the Draconis system. Here the player meets the Methanides, another alien race, who also fight against the Mantis. In Draconis is the base of the Mantis: The Mantis hive, where the player defeats the Mantis Queen to complete the ancient artifact. After the player experiments with the artifact, a wormhole opens to a new system, the Sirius Singularity. Untold riches and wealth await there, but only for the bravest of pilots who choose to yet again face the Mantis and the rogue Methanide criminals who would go through the Wormhole. Here, the player discovers a new type of NPC called "The Ancients".

The latest system, "Tau Ceti", was recently completed, with the fourth, and last, part being released.[2]
