Master of Orion borrows several game elements from Spaceward Ho!. Star Lords Star Lords was a sort-of prototype game for Master of Orion. Likely a reference to George Lucas's movie THX-1138, which he himself has referred to in little in-jokes throughout the Star Wars movies. When playing against the Meklars, one of the names for the leader (picked randomly from a pool in the NAMES.LBX file) is TX-1138. He's often stated its one of his all time favorite games. Likewise like the first, the game joins investigation, revelation, battle, and micromanagement into a mix of system gaming which has demonstrated very fruitful. Famous Sci-Fi novelist and long time technology columnist Jerry Pournelle frequently mention his appreciation for Master of Orion i his Chaos Manor columns. Like its archetype, Master of Orion 2: Battle at Antares gives you a selection of races, a sweeping innovation tree, and heaps of chance for interstellar loot and plunder.
