Soldak Entertainment now offers a Linux demo for Drox Operative, their sci-fi action/RPG, and the game is now available for Windows, OS X, and Linux. Here's word on the demo: "In the Drox Operative demo, you can get a taste of the dynamic and ever changing galaxy. There is no time limit, but it does limit everything to around level 6. The demo is about 120 MB and is currently version 1.037. You can see the minimum and recommended System Specs here." Here's a refresher on the game:

In the new space race, the major races are scouting, colonizing, and expanding, trying to take over the galaxy by diplomacy, technology, war, or any other means their scheming minds can contemplate.

As a Drox Operative it's NOT your job to manage all of those annoying people, build thousands of buildings, play nice with your enemies, or balance the budget. It IS your job to pick the winning side and maybe even help them conquer the galaxy if you're being nice, more importantly though is to rake in as many credits as possible, well that and build the coolest, deadliest ship in the known universe. Not many screw with an Operative captaining a Dreadnaught!
