Welcome to Earth & Beyond, the first online role-playing galaxy. It's your turn to pilot your own starship, adventure in a massive galaxy, and take part in a thriving community. Alien encounters, fierce combat, cutthroat commerce, new discoveries, perilous quests, strategic alliances, diplomatic backstabbing, and epic wars await you and the friends you meet online.
Start your career in style with a powerful starship designed, painted and named by you. Upgrade your starship with new weapons, engines, shields, and devices.
The galaxy is populated with thousands of brave starship captains like you. Team up for group adventures to reap the benefits of cooperative exploration, trade, and combat.
Visit fascinating alien worlds, discover strange space phenomena, harvest precious resources, fight in massive battles, and trade your goods at thriving starbases.
Become powerful by succeeding in the challenges you enjoy the most, including combat, exploration, and trade. Choose from a variety of space-faring careers, each with a unique blend of potent skills.
As this epic story of humanity's struggle to colonize the stars unfolds, the galaxy will change before your eyes. Your actions, and those of your allies and enemies, will determine the fate of humanity and the course of the galaxy.

After you start playing, the demo will stop working after five days. The five days are calendar days, not gametime days. If you only play for the first minute, the demo still expires five days later.
You will be playing on the regular servers and have access to the same game features as players with the retail version.
If you never install and register, then the demo will not expire. It will remain usable for the entire life of Earth & Beyond.
