bitter struggle for control of inter-dimensional gateways between worlds? the
Gates of Antares. It is a war fought across a million planets and in the
depths of space. It is a war that has raged for thousands of years. Now it is a
war that threatens not just the existence of worlds but the fabric of space-
time itself? as a new and terrible discovery reveals the most destructive
force ever created? the Xilos Horizon. The armies of the PanHuman Concord
include the most effective weapons, the best equipped troops, and the most
advanced fighting drones in all of Antarean space. When the forces of the
Concord Combined Command move upon the world of Xilos they are in for a shock
? for they have been beaten to it! The world has been occupied by a
battlegroup of the brutal Ghar Empire. The Ghar are bio-engineered troopers
created in millennia past to fight a war now long forgotten? but
unfortunately no one told the Ghar! Implacable and without mercy the Ghar
prepare for war? for war is all they know. Beyond the Gates of Antares is a
new science-fiction skirmish wargame that pitches technologically advanced
