Victory by Any Means: Carrier Wars 2026

THE WAR FOR THE SPINWARD EXPANSE HAS BEGUN!

In the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace Collapse, the alien civilizations of the Old Empire slowly began rebuilding their empires. In the pursuit of this territorial expansion, many of them dispatched scout fleets and colonial expeditions into the SPINWARD EXPANSE, an uninhabited region of space known for its relatively low number of habitable worlds. A coalition of aliens known as the OUTWORLDS CONFEDERATION came to dominate the Expanse after the events of Human/Graal War and the Human Civil War, establishing itself along the spinward edge of Graal space.

Unbenownst to the Confederation, the aggressive KENTARI CLANS had themselves begun expanding their empire in the Spinward Expanse, and soon these two empires were set on a collision course that would inevitably lead to war between the two upstart powers. Control of the Spinward Expanse now hangs in the balance, and it’s up to you to decide who will become the masters of this sector of space!

CARRIER WARS is an expansion for VICTORY BY ANY MEANS that introduces advanced carrier warfare options for use in your campaigns, including ultralight fighters, new fighter special abilities, flak cannons, carrier strikes, fighter aces, auxiliary carriers, and more. Five new alien empires (the Outworlds Confederation, Kentari Clans, Altairian Free State, Procyon Commonwealth, and Ross Association) are included for use in your campaigns, along with full campaign scenarios that will allow you to experience the fight for the Spinward Expanse first hand.
