What in God's name is this game about? There is no description on this site that I can see.

It is about many things. The description is "It's a port of the classic game Star Control 2,", which usually suffices since most of the current player base remembers the original.
The main Star Control fansite has web-available versions of the manual's backstory and the PC's intro slideshow.

Star Control 2: The Ur-quan Masters is a great game, truly unique and a classic. The main game is difficult to put in any one genre. You mine planets, make alliances, talk with aliens, and fight your enemies - it's difficult to explain. Combat is done in a simple but incredibly fun top-down interface, with ships fighting each other one by one.
This is a port of the 3do version (there was a computer version, but it won't run on most comps). The best site to go to is www.star-control.com, it has gobs of info. You can also download it, see how you like it, though I reccomend starting out with Supermelee.
For a quick overview and introduction to the game, read its entry in the gamespy hall of fame: http://www.gamespy.com/legacy/halloffame/sc2_a.shtm

I don't know what you people are talking about. The game is obviously about Frungy.

We I used to be bored, but then we i bought this cool entertainment product. It simulated a grand adventure through a thousand parsecs of hostile space where we i met interesting aliens, uncovered the secrets of a long-lost superior race and eventually, to save our worlds from destruction, we i had to face the dread... never mind, I can tell you aren't really interested.

Pablo seems to have forgotten that Syreen are purple or blue... (judging from the Syreen on the ground image)
