Horizon is a grand space strategy game of galactic conquest in which you are in control of humanity’s destiny. You will explore deep space, find new frontiers and discover alien artifacts hidden on long-abandoned planets. You will also learn more about the galaxy as you come into contact with 10 other species, each with their own unique culture, history and schemes. A fully interactive galaxy allows you to navigate open space between stars and planets. Patrol your borders and, when the need arises, defend your territory by engaging in ship-to-ship tactical combat. Develop new colonies and then watch them become galactic centres for trade, industry and science - and of course military bases, outposts and shipyards to build your battle ships. Push your empire to its limits and go beyond the known horizon!

Anyone reminded of Master Of Orion? The look of the game, I mean.

A little bit, although I can't say there's really a huge amount of GUI originality in 4X space games.

It's interesting that humanity is basically starting with our actual solar system, though, rather than a randomly-generated one. There's not a huge amount of games that do that instead of giving the "Terrans" a randomly-generated one, or just keeping things really generic like the original MOO.

I know Galciv did (not as familiar with Stardrive). I'm just saying that, by comparison, there's not quite as many that don't decide to just randomize everything.
