The war system was modified in April 2007. In the new system, a single one-on-one battle could escalate into a multi-colony vs. multi-colony affair. Currently the system can accommodate a single battle with up to Three participants on each side. The previous system, using "War Attack and Defense Slots" showed some weakness to procedural manipulation. The new system is intended to allow groups to fight outside the artificial constraints of two war slot for each colony.

The new system is initiated by declaring war on another colony. After declaring war, each of the two colonies, attacker and defender, get five "war time slots", WTS, which act like moves on a chess board. In this case, different moves require different number of time slots. A ground based attack uses two WTS. Therefore a colony may declare war and then make two ground assault attacks withing their first five allocated WTS, leaving one unused WTS. An attack with Orbital Fighters uses four WTS.

The defending colony also receives five WTS and may use them as they choose. However, it often happens that a solid attack weakens the enemy to the point they are unable to respond without military aid. A severely weakened colony is often in a state of unrest. To restore order, a colony is often faced with taking out a loan to buy troops and police necessary to restore order. Then they can collect unclaimed funds from the financial window and manage their colony. It is wise for them to repay the loan immediately if possible or the next they are faced with disorder, there will be no way to restore order.
