Gliraktik: Computerized strategy-game developed on Alleman (3137 Vland) around 1800. Due to the collapse of the Rule of Man and the ensuing Long Night, the game never spread very fast. Even to this day, Gliraktik is almost unknown outside the sectors Vland, Lishun, Dagudashaag and Core. The extreme difficulty of the game has probably been another determining factor to it's lack of widespread popularity.

Gliraktik is one of the few games where even a TL 15 starship computer can't beat a sentient being. The game seems to require a level of intuition for the rules and situations where a non-sentient computer isn't capable of playing.

Gliraktik games can continue on almost indefinitely with two equal opponents. Players often take days to make their move. -cam MS
