“Surakari forces have entered the Cadre system. Launch Operation Octavius. I repeat, launch Operation Octavius!” ~ Captain of the frigate Cadria 47
For six months, the Surakari have torn open a wound in the Heragul Empire. Their invasion has brought them to the door step of the Albion Prefecture. Take command of your fleet and battle for the future of Kalidasia.
Kalidasia Fleet Commander is the new tabletop game of planetary defense. One player takes the role of the invading Surakari while the other commands the Heragul defenders. The fate of the Albion Prefecture is in your hands.
Kalidasia Fleet Commander: Operation Octavius is the starter set for re-creating fleet scale engagements in the Albion Prefecture. One player will command the desperate Heragul defenders, while the other oversees the Surakari invading forces.
Operation Octavius contains everything two players need to start: Warship squadron tokens, Command Cards, Planet Status Cards, dice, and tokens for tracking score, damage, and military convoys.
At its core, Kalidasia Fleet Commander is asymmetrical game of territorial control. The Surakari invaders are attempting to setup blockades to starve out the defenders while preparing for a final assault on the planet. Heragul forces are clearing out the shipping lanes and are desperately trying to buy time until a relief force can arrive. Warships are in limited supply. Time is your enemy. Combat is decisive. Deception is the difference between victory and defeat.
Operation Octavius has failed. The Surakari turned captured asteroids into weapons and bombarded the surface of Kaylynn Six. Despite defenders holding off the aliens at Albion 8 and Cadre 4, the situation is still fragile.
Albion Under Siege continues the story of the battle for the Albion Prefecture as the Surakari renew their assault on Albion 8 and target the political world of Cadre 3. This expansion for Kalidasia Fleet Commander introduces those two new planets, five new command cards, and more warship tokens in order to fight even larger battles.
The fate of Albion still hangs in the balance. Command your fleets and make the choice to defend or destroy the Heragul Empire.
This video overview of Kalidasia Fleet Commander presents a short introduction to the game and some of its core mechanics.

If we have tried to understand the unknown instead of fearing it, I would have to imagine things would have turned out differently.
