X (game Series)
''X'' is a science fiction space trading and combat simulator series created by German developer Egosoft. The series is set in the X-Universe where several races populate a number of worlds connected by jumpgates. Plot Hundreds of millions of years before the plot of the ''X'' games, the Ancient races, who have transceded their physical form, built billions of jumpgates throughout the universe. Their purpose, as well as their effect, is to limit the development of faster-than-light transportation, creating a reliance on these jumpgates as human and alien species explore the universe. This enables the Ancients to act as shepherds of life, preventing wars between alien species, and monitoring the development of civilisations. Unexpectedly for the Ancients, however, mankind would discover jumpgate technology themselves. Over the course of the 21st century, mankind experimented with wormhole technology and successfully built jumpgates in space between Earth and Mars paving the w ...
