Planetwars is an online multiplayer strategic campaign that pits you and your allies against the rest of the Zero-K playerbase in a fight to control the galaxy! On behalf of your faction you will choose which planets to attack and defend, and you'll fight on those planets in Zero-K 2v2 or 3v3 battles. As the battles are are won or lost, your faction will spread its influence throughout the galaxy, conquering planets and gaining resources to use in further battles. You can spend some of those resources yourself to send dropships and bombers to other planets or to fortify the defenses on planets your faction controls. You can even take on leadership roles within your faction, gaining responsibility over the military, economic, strategic, or diplomatic course your faction will pursue. | Planetwars is an online multiplayer strategic campaign that pits you and your allies against the rest of the Zero-K playerbase in a fight to control the galaxy!

Now wait until it's your faction's turn to launch an attack or defend against an invasion. If your faction has the initiative, you can select a planet to attack, or you can join in an attack that one of your fellow faction members has started. Once enough players have joined the attack (either two or three, depending on the planet) then defenders will have a few minutes to join. Once enough defenders have joined, the battle will begin. On the other hand, if your faction does ''not'' have the iniative, you'll need to wait for the attacking faction to select a planet to attack and then you can join in the defense. The lobby will display which faction has the initiative, which planets are available to attack, and which attacks are available to defend against. | Now wait until it's your faction's turn to launch an attack or defend against an invasion.
