Strategy! After your fathers tragic "accident", you are now ruler of a harmless planet with few ressources and old spaceships. But you want more! You can increase your income by conquering defenseless planets. You may invest money into better infrastructure, build new spaceships and research more powerful weapons. And step by step, you will be able to expand your empire!

Diplomacy! Your fellow players have similar goals, so sooner or later there will be trouble. To survive, you might need some allies. This is what makes the game so fascinating. You can form alliances, help your partners out, smash your enemies. Or you can betray your alliance, help your enemies, and smash your partners. Up to you.

Online! IMP is an online game, but it is not just webbased - it is played via a small, cool client-program. (Click here for screenshots) The client helps you playing - you can drag your spaceships around with your mouse, click buttons, view graphs and so on just like in a normal program. Also, the client allows you to log off while playing if you want to save connection costs - just log on again when you are done.

Free! IMP is a free, cool turn-based game. This means, you can make your moves whenever you like. At home. At work (sneakily). At school. On the train. On the toilet. Wherever you like. At no cost. The frequency depends on the campaign you select (or administrate). Everything is possible: from 10 turns a day to 1 turn a week!
