Montreal, Canada. November 12th, 2004. Publisher Strategy First Inc. and developer Stardock are pleased to announce that Galactic Civilizations: Altarian Prophecy Expansion Pack has shipped to retailers nationwide.

If you enjoyed Stardock’s award-winning space strategy game Galactic Civilizations, then prepare your fleet because its world has expanded. Galactic Civilizations: Altarian Prophecy is an expansion pack adding a host of new features, content, and other enhancements which add depth and greater replay-ability to the original Galactic Civilizations.

“Altarian Prophecy’s new features make a great game even better” says Strategy First Business Development Manager, Pro Sotos. “Gamers who loved Galactic Civilizations now have new challenges to satisfy their gaming needs.”

This expansion pack introduces an all-new campaign called the Altarian Prophecy that takes players on a multi-game journey to solve the mystery alluded to in Galactic Civilizations. Altarian Prophecy also introduces two new alien civilizations: the Korx and the Drath.
