The original Sword of the Stars was a solid entry to the 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) strategy subgenre, offering tons of depth and great graphics. However, it was a bit tough to get into as the interface was pretty complex and the gameplay could be pretty user unfriendly if you were a newcomer to the genre.
Sword of the Stars: Murder of Crows is the latest expansion to the original SotS, offering several new features, including a brand new race with new gameplay perks and mechanics. While the interface is still a bit complex and overwhelming for non-4X veterans, the expansion should offer some pretty nice additions for fans of the original game.
