Amazon.com Product Description
In 2140, a rogue asteroid strikes Earth, sending the remnants of civilization into the far reaches of space. A war erupts between Earth's remaining factions; large and one-manned warships travel through wormholes connecting sectors, and lumbering resource gatherers collect a valuable resource, Helium 3, facilitating the construction of more stations and ships. In Allegiance, an exciting new team-based multiplayer-only game from Microsoft, players assume the role of pilots and commanders, all in an effort to conquer the universe and defeat the opposition.

Its a shame MS dropped this game. At one time it was 1,000's playing. But the game is still being played http://www.freeallegiance.org/. You need to check it out. Its free and we have a great time there.

Allegiance was and still is a game unlike any other I had ever played before. when Microsoft stopped the servers I stopped playing since I thought that the game was dead (like so many other multi-player games these days) but I found the AllegianceHQ which was then moved to www.freeallegiance.org site and started playing again.
The community has now formed it's own development group to keep creating this game, there is technical support offered through a helpline forum, there is a training program for new players and there is even a server where new players can go to get a basic feel of flight control before heading out into the main servers.
The community has kept this game alive for 4 years without major donations or support from it's original creator and This is without a doubt one of the best games ever made period.

Although Microsoft dropped most of its support for this amazing game, they did release the source code for it last year. In other words you can play it for free, no cd required. So there's really no point in buying the disk except for nostalgia purposes.
Meanwhile the community has taken it upon itself to host servers and develop mods to improve gameplay. Those who played a long time ago should check out what's been changed and new people are welcome to come and play the greatest RTS/FPS hybrid ever.

"The Greatest Game You Never Played" June 20, 2002
This game is the absolute BOMB. It's a 3D first person cockpit online 58 player real time strategy space combat game (phew!). It is more fun than ANY game I have ever played. It is truly ground breaking and Microsoft had quite a true hit on their hands. The game is now completely free and controlled by the player community who still develop for it. 6 factions total now with more on the way! I may have tons of other PC games and all the consoles but I still play this game the most because nothing else even comes close. Check out http://www.allegiancehq.org/ to see the latest on what is happening with this game!
