Eclipse vs Twilight Struggle

The galaxy has been a peaceful place for many years. After the ruthless Terran–Hegemony War, much effort has been employed by all major spacefaring species to prevent the terrifying events from repeating themselves. The Galactic Council was formed to enforce precious peace, and it has taken many courageous efforts to prevent the escalation of malicious acts. Nevertheless, tension and discord are growing among the seven major species and in the Council itself. Old alliances are shattering, and hasty diplomatic treaties are made in secrecy.

Answer the summons of the trumpets and bear the burden of the Twilight Struggle.

Every choice you make will impact the balance of power. "Now the trumpet summons us again" —John Fitzgerald Kennedy, First Inaugural 1961.
