Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain is a computer space sim game for the PC. It is a mainly real-time strategy game emphasizing empire building and customization. Instead of using a single large map as do most of the current real-time strategy games, Pax Imperia revolves around star systems connected by wormholes or jump points, which connect a system of star systems in a large web. The game allowed for the player to customise the species that they were to play to a high degree. Players could focus on construction, reproduction, research, espionage, or the acquisition of money. Additionally, players could select special qualities, such as having pyschic powers or an aquatic physiology, and could tailor their species to be better at peaceful colonisation or conquest. The planets had different types of atmosphere, so that certain species could more easily colonise some than others, and each planet additionally had different quantities of natural resources, similar to the Space Empires series of games.
Pax Imperia also refers to a time of peace, literally Peace of the Empire. See Pax
