Eclipse Universe: Second Galactic War is a cancelled action video game that was to be developed and published by Morningwood Industries; Nakamura Interactive assisted in development. During the game's development, it was known as "Eclipse Universe Online," and it was intended to be an MMO game with a heavy focus on large-scale multiplayer and cooperative. However, sometime after its initial pre-production stage, the studio announced that it shifted the game away from being an MMO to being an action game instead. Its final title was revealed as Eclipse Universe: Second Galactic War. Nakamura Interactive had been brought in to assist development. During Morningwood Arts' Fall Direct 2022, it was announced that Morningwood Industries were shelfing the game, allowing Nakamura Interactive to focus entirely on Eclipse Universe: Rose Squad - Extinction.
The game was going to focus on the Second Galactic War in Eclipse Universe canon. Players were going to experience five different Storylines: Eclipse Army, Eclipse Navy, Eclipse Starfighter Corps, TITAN Corps and Task Force: JOKER. These five Storylines each followed a respective branch of the Eclipse Military during the war and provided a gameplay experience different from the other Storylines: the Army Storyline featured large-scale ground battles, the Navy Storyline featured starships and orbital combat, the Starfighter Corps Storyline featured starfighters and space combat, the TITAN Storyline featured close quarter combat and the JOKER Storyline featured a mix of all four Storylines.
Gameplay
Player Character
In Second Galactic War, players were allowed to create their own Character, whom was fully customizable with all of the options given to the player. They can further be customized with various pieces of clothing, armour and equipment during gameplay, which depends on the Storyline. All players have four Character Slots, one for each of the game's four Storylines. These Characters can also be deleted, however, all items, quests and Storyline progress belonging to that Character will be lost.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alliance Forces (Trooper) |
As former Alliance Forces, you decided for a change in your career and instead wish to protect Earth and all her colonies across the galaxy, enlisting with the Eclipse Military to fulfill this purpose and gained access to military-grade equipment and technology. In this environment, you must learn to adapt to a new lifestyle, and better mannerisms. Realizing that protecting Earth was no longer providing what you originally enlisted for, you decided that maybe it is all about the money, and you have since then been discharged from the Alliance Forces and continued to go down your own path, gaining new friends and associates. This newfound purpose and reputation have caught the attention of Mr. Tachibana, one of Task Force: JOKER's top advisors and a close friend of its field commander Riley Rose. | ||||
| Civilian (The FNG) |
You've always looked up to the Eclipse Military as a child, you dreamt of yourself serving in the Empire's armed forces as a soldier, a hero saving the galaxy and meeting the Clan President himself, Anakin Jenkins Fall. In your teenage, this grew to intense desire to serve and you've made it your life's goal. You want to serve the Eclipse Empire, its leaders and defend your fellow Earthlings. In the recents years, you've made accomplishments towards your goal and now you've reached that goal. You have enlisted with the Eclipse Military. Maybe civilian life was boring to you? That dull same routine everyday for every moment you've lived. The same people you see, family, friends. Talking about the same things, looking forward to pop culture, fantasizing about that one person all the time. Or maybe it was your stressful life, your work hours, your boss, your coworkers, or just anything that causes you stress. Maybe one of these caused you to snap one day and you unintentionally harmed someone, or you committed a crime? Maybe it felt good. New. Fresh. Exciting. And since then, you turned to the life of crime, taking jobs, making a name for yourself. But you find out that things come to an end. You're arrested and are awaiting trial, but instead, a man named Mr. Tachibana comes and offers a fresh start? | ||||
