By the mid 26th century humanity has conquered the universe and colonized countless planets. Yet life in space requires a great deal of adaptation. Bred for just these conditions, the cybernetically adapted Tyi and the biogenetically optimized Geniden have outgrown their creators to become the new ruling races. Their uncompromising battle for total mastery of space leads humanity into the sphere of influence of an ancient alien life form – a life form which tolerates no other cosmic civilizations but its own. In this battle against an overpowering enemy, players must first choose which of the two rival factions they wish to join as they try to save humanity.

The fascinating science-fiction universe from “Black Prophecy” will present players a complex online universe featuring cinema-quality space battles. A universe in which they fly their spacecraft alone, as a clan member or as part of a fleet as they fight political battles and prove themselves in the fight against extinction at the hands of the aliens. The search for their home world and the answer to their dark secret soon becomes a race to save all the races of mankind.

In addition to many roll-playing game elements and a comprehensive resource-management system the tactically demanding “Black Prophecy” also offers a tremendous depth of play and spectacular deep-space action for the PC.

World Space Week, taking place from October 4th through 10th, is the largest annual space event on earth. Since 1999, it has acted as both an important educational resource and inspirational tool that has led millions of people each year to better grasp how the world we live is constantly being shaped by what’s beyond. In honor of this yearly celebration, the free-to-play space combat MMOG Black Prophecy will be conducting two special events that week.

The first event will offer players an increase of 25% XP for missions and enemy kills. The second will offer an additional 15% extra cash on all packet purchases worth €9.99 or more. Both events offer wonderful ways for players to build up their ships before conquering warzones in the newly released “Episode 2: Species War” expansion while reminding them about the many wonders of the galaxy – which is the reason for World Space Week.

Players can get a head start on the October 4th through 10th World Space Week XP and cash events by downloading Black Prophecy for free.
