They pushed back release a day for the game, maybe they were having distribution problems. My local stores were all carrying it.

Empires at War? Is this a re-release or something?

Or is this a completely different game?

Isn't that a copyright infringement?

I'm not really sure who the owners of the name "Starfleet Command Volume II: Empires at War" are at this point, but I don't think they really care enough to pursue it in court.

one is "empire" the other is "empires"...clearly something different

One letter difference isn't always enough to deter a lawsuit, but even if it were "Empires at War" I don't think it would be pursued. SFC2: EAW is basically a dead game anyway and has been nearly completely supplanted by Orion Pirates. If anyone tried to sue LucasArts because the names were too similar, it would just cause a lot of trouble for no real purpose. I can't really see anything good coming out of it.
