This is the Shattered Galaxy Section, a game i play quite frequently. Take Starcraft, MechCommander, and Everquest and throw them together...In a good way......now you have Shattered Galaxy. The graphics aren't altogether impressive, but it's about the gameplay, right? Right? Ah, Terry (a.k.a. TSP) puts it better:

"For those of you who haven't heard of Shattered Galaxy, it is a massive online war game with tons of elements from RTS and RPG games carefully melded together. The best way to describe Shattered Galaxy would be to say it is a fusion of Starcraft, EverQuest, and Risk, all rolled into one massive experience. In Shattered Galaxy, you control a hero that you build up just like in a traditional RPG game, but the way you do this is by participating in huge RTS battles with an army of mechanized war machines. When I say "huge", I mean "HUGE"! If you are used to the three-on-three or four-on-four battles that are common in most RTS games today, then you are in for a big surprise. Shattered Galaxy battles average over 30 heroes per battlefield, and we've had single battles with as many as 80 participants! Just imagine you and a dozen of your closest friends all scrambling for the last strategic map point with a dozen opposing commanders battling to stop you. These battles get really intense, with a majority of the battle outcomes coming down to the last nail-biting seconds."
