Any information on the Galactic War?

Possibly one of the features that excite me most about this game will be the galactic war.
Some of the fan speculations about it have been making me worry that it might not be what i think it is.

When i think of Galactic War.. i just think of a Spore size universe where i can go and conquer each individual planet and micro manage them, or leave them be if there is no real need for them... or use them as testing grounds for devastating weapons.
I would really like it to be deep. Where anything can happen in any corner of the galaxy. Fighting an endless battle on multiple fronts.

So how much do i got right there? How much is out there about Galactic War that's for certain? I'm really worried and id like to know some about it, please.

Galactic War is a Meta Game to tie together a series of Skirmishes.

See this thread in the Backer Lounge for similar questions;

I haven't played many "risk" style games so it makes it sound rather limiting to me. Like that one guy mentioned that in this style of game the bases i build will be the gone the next time i visit the same spot... ?

Okay, you're attacking an Enemy System, he's captured all the planets, moons and asteroids, what do you do?

Bring out the meat wagons!

Well, on a serious note id bombard to make room for my forces but what would they bombard with in PA? No spaceships.

I-i'm really sorry if this is annoying, heh.

Exactly.

How it will be handled exactly will be very Dependant on how the core gameplay turns out.

Alright. Thank you...
