Phase Interactive announces Defect SDK, which is not a Software Development Kit for a game called Defect, but rather a space combat and construction game coming to Windows, OS X, and tablets next year, with the SDK representing "Spaceship Destruction Kit." An official website is online, offering details and an announcement trailer showing off the game, highlighting an odd gameplay element of "inevitable" crew defection also stressed in the announcement. Here's word:

Defect SDK allows the player to build the ultimate ship piece by piece, from the size of a single-pilot fighter to a space station the size of a small moon. Create devastating spacecraft capable of obliterating your foes, but keep in mind that your crew will defect, forcing you to face your own creation in battle. Offering unprecedented freedom of creation, players will build the most powerful ships in the galaxy with an easy to use tile-based building system, the game will feature hundreds of parts across three stylistic themes referencing sci-fi movies and shows from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. How do you build the perfect ship to complete your objective, but also build in flaws that can be exploited later when your crew inevitably defects?
