Having completed their attack on the Dynasty outpost the Liberation fleet attempts a hasty retreat but are cut off by an armada of Dynasty reinforcements. Seeing an escape route, the Tempus leads the other ships into an asteroid belt, hoping the armada wouldn't be so bold as to do the same. Games in the Tempus series work similarly to roll and write games where players roll dice and use the results to fill in a sheet. In the Tempus System, instead of using dice, players will use the date and time to randomize setup and available actions. —description from the designer
