Plot

The story of Imperium Galactica II is not entirely linear, featuring several scenarios pitting one Empire against another, and a main campaign where the player chooses one of three factions: the Kra'hen Empire, the Shinari Republic, or the Solarian Federation. Each race has different objectives, and the player can win by meeting these dynamic goals or conquering the galaxy by eliminating all other factions. The Kra'hen Empire, a brutal and bloodthirsty race with a fetish for collecting enemy heads, enters the galaxy occupied by seven other races; as Imperator, the objective is to appease the God-Emperor. The Solarian Federation, representing far-future humans, must recover four Tears (Data Crystals) strewn across the galaxy by their ancestors, which can make humanity invincible and resurrect their dead leader; it is discovered that many other races, such as the Iberon, Godan, and Toluen, were genetically-altered humans adapted to specific climates. The Shinari Republic, the weakest race militarily, resorts to espionage and trade; upon encountering the Kra'hen, they aid the Solarians in uniting all races against this threat, but after the Kra'hen are defeated, they turn down a galaxy-wide alliance and instead seek to reanimate Solarian Emperor Kaileron to plunge the galaxy back into conflict.
