Lighthouse Interactive and Kerberos Productions have announced that A Murder of Crows, the latest expansion to their PC space strategy Sword of the Stars franchise, has gone gold.

In addition to the debut of the Morrigi (the sixth new race in the Sword of the Stars universe) new ships, sections, and weapons are available for the Human, Zuul, Hiver, Liir, and Tarkas races, which promises a fresh style of gameplay to the series.

A Murder of Crows will begin hitting store shelves across the United Kingdom on October 10, 2008. Players are required to have either Sword of the Stars: Collector's Edition or Born of Blood to join in the action.

"This new expansion exemplifies Kerberos' continued commitment to the vast and dedicated SotS community," said Steve Wall, Vice President Business Development at Lighthouse Interactive. "Fans will revel in the dynamic new gameplay they're about to experience."
