Most of the game takes place in two galaxies: Small Magellanic Cloud and the Large Magellanic Cloud.
In the first part of the game, taking place in the SMC, Yuri becomes aware of the Lugovalian Empire,
a very large and powerful intergalactic empire, ruled by an iron fist by Emperor Taranis.
Learning of their desire to conquer the SMC, Yuri tries to coordinate the galaxy's forces for a defense,
 but they quickly fall to the Lugovalian threat. In the second part of the game, taking place 10 years later,
most of the SMC is under Lugovalian control, with a plan to also conquer the Galactic Federation of the LMC:
the largest military force in the galaxy.

Plot

Infinite Space contains themes from the novel Childhood's End by Arthur C.
 Clarke.[8] The plot is divided into two main storylines; both are centered around Yuri,
 a starship captain-in-training, and take place ten years apart.
The game is set tens of thousands of years in the future,
 when humankind has spread across several galaxies. While faster-than-light travel using
 "inflaton inverter" engines is the standard for all spaceships,
 ancient constructs called Void Gates are necessary to travel wider
distances that would still take years to cross. Ruined, inactive Void Gates
 called Dead Gates can also be found, but are seen as nothing more than scientific curiosities.
 Infinite Space focuses on Yuri's quest to discover the ultimate purpose of the Epitaphs,
artifacts scattered throughout the universe.

When the player boards an enemy ship, the player takes control of their
 character to move through the ship.Characters aren't moved directly,
 but rather by selecting commands, such as "move right". Melee battles are fought too, using a system similar to "rock, paper, scissors", and a command gauge that is similar to the one used in spaceship battles.
Multiplayer spaceship battles are also available for two-players to play
competitively over local Wi-Fi.

The entire game is controlled by the touchscreen.
 Neither characters nor spacecraft are controlled directly,
but rather, are controlled in a "point and click" type manner.
 Travel is done by first choosing a destination, then engaging
the engines to move towards that destination. Spaceship battles occur in real-time,
 with attacks utilizing a "command gauge" feature.As the command gauge builds up,
the player can use it to perform attacks against an enemy ship. The rate at which the
command gauge fills depends on the type of ship, and the crew of the ship.
