Interesting concept, and once you get past the intro it's actually a rather cool little 4X type of game. However, the scroll for the intro was WAY too fast, and there were some issues with pacing of the story and exposition.
Suggestion: The tutorial for the game was great...after the game proper started. I personally feel you could have used the intro bits (before the 4X part) to explain the history AFTER you get to the new planet. It was unnecessary for the game to start with it. Also, drastically slow down or give the player control over when to move to the next bit of text in the intro.
