+Conquest is a real-time, multi-player space warfare game that
+was originally written in RATFOR for the VAX/VMS platform by
+Jef Poskanzer and Craig Leres. It was the early predecessor to
+Netrek. This page concerns itself with the Unix/C rewrite I
+completed in 1997. With conquest version 8.1 or better, an OpenGL
+based client is provided as well, which looks a heck of alot
+better than the 20th Century curses interface it started with :).
+
+Conquest will need a conquest group to run. You can add one with
+# groupadd -g 294 conquest
