Reception
Shannon Appelcline commented on the fate of this game: "Unfortunately, the ubiquitous element that made the board game fun — its mixture of elements reminiscent of Dune, Star Wars, Star Trek, and many other well-known settings — couldn't support the increased scrutiny required for a roleplaying setting, and a simplistic rules system wasn't enough to save it. After the Mecatol Rex (2000) supplement, the game was doomed to fade away."
