About

Galactic Command Echo Squad SE is a space and planetary combat simulator developed by 3000AD and released on PC in 2014 as a remastered Steam edition of the original 2009 title. Set in the aftermath of a Gammulan invasion that devastated Earth's solar system, the game places the player in command of the Echo fighter squadron, assigned to a starstation orbiting Titan and operating under the WildStar battle fleet aboard the GCV-Excalibur. Missions span both space and planetary environments, ranging from escort and reconnaissance operations to large-scale tactical strikes against Insurgent forces opposing the GALCOM alliance. Three distinct modes are available: a structured campaign, quick combat sessions, and a sandbox mode that allows free exploration across eight star systems within the Terran Quadrant, including Sol, Alpha Centauri, and Tau Ceti. The game is noted for its high difficulty and shares a legacy engine with the broader Universal Combat series.

About This Game

Galactic Command Echo Squad SE is a high-end and very challenging space/planetary combat game. It offers a thrilling campaign, instant action combat sessions as well as a sandbox mode allowing you to explore the game's universe while battling hostile Insurgent forces among others.

Missions take place in space and on the surface of planets and range from basic escort and recon missions, to highly engaging and dangerous tactical strike missions.

Many years have passed since the Gammulans invaded the sol system in full force and all but decimated the inhabitants of the planetary systems. cites were
completely devastated and entire continents wiped out.

In their wake, they left a splintered Galactic Command (GALCOM) alliance still engaged in a fierce battle with insurgents who oppose the alliance.

Stretched to the limit Galactic Command scientists developed a new space craft that is lighter, faster and more powerful than any before it. Episode One begins with this new Engstrom class carrier's first day in a live combat engagement.

Your Echo fighter squadron of fighters has been assigned to the WildStar battle fleet led by the GCV-Excalibur in operations against the Insurgent uprising.

As an Elite Force Pilot and leader of the Echo fighter wing assigned to IIS starstation in orbit around Titan, your fighter squad is tasked with leading a series of defensive and offensive missions against the Insurgents occupying Sol territories.

Unlike our other larger capital ship series (Battlecruiser, Universal Combat) Echo Squad SE takes place within the confines of the Terran Quadrant which spans the following star systems. So in sandbox mode, you are restricted to this quadrant.

SOL, ALPHA CENTAURI, BARNARD’S STAR, SIRIUS, OMICRON ERIDANI, TAU CETI, POLARIS, PROCYON

Echo Squad was first developed in 2007-2008 for Turner’s GameTap service. When that service was sold off (to Metaboli), the game rights reverted. A few months later we decided to update and improve the game. It was later released in early 2009 as Echo Squad SE. The game uses our legacy game engine first released in 2009 for the original Echo Squad SE. The much larger Universal Combat Collector’s Edition v2.0 game is also derived from this engine.

By popular demand, we decided to remaster and release an updated version of the game for the first time on Steam. More info available on the game's web page.
