Four Races to Command...or Conquer The NEW Vyrium race brings a host of new units, technologies and strategies to the Frontier. Build your empire, conquer star systems, and defeat your enemies. But remember! Your opponents are bent on your destruction too! Conquest 2: The Vyrium Uprising has four new campaigns. Play through each race in a complete story involving the rise of the Vyrium and the struggle for control of the galaxy. The Vyrium are terrifying adversaries if they can get in close. They favor very slow "get up close and pound them" tactics. To compensate for their lack of speed, their ships have heavily armored hulls. They lack shields, as their immature race never developed the necessary technology. They have very few long-range weapons, and the ones they do have are highly specialized. |  | |
