Well, I'm sure others can describe it better, but Justified Use of
Military Power (J.U.M.P.) into the Unknown (to give it its full title)
is a 'space conquest' strategy game, by, IIRC the Evil Polish Brothers.

You start with one planet, some starting forces, and an attitude [1]

You visit other planets, and either woo them to your cause with
diplomacy, or conquer them.

The other players do the same.

More planets = more resources, each planet has a tech level, which
determines the best hardware it can produce.

The Game Components look quite high quality (beautiful planets etc. on
transparencys that are laid upon the 'board' to form the game layout,
foil-printed card counters, etc.)

Played it once, so far.

[1] Yes, you have a choice of three - it affects diplomacy.
