Yup, thought of Homeworld too. If you remember a consuming biological opponent it was probably Homeworld: Cataclysm renamed Emergence due to Blizzard's level 85 lawyers.
The description is similar but i don't remember there being space combat, there may have been but it would have been later in the game. What i'm thinking of was ground based units
FWIW Homeworld is free on epic store today coincidentally
Posting LLM responses as your comments is like posting Google results. At the very least, don't subject us to the whole diatribe of the program if you insist on sharing it. Just post the game name or whatever.
ok
LOL I still have the original CD for Homeworld.
Was it Universe At War. I think its a little more recent than that but sounds similar.
It does sound very similar but you are correct, too new of a game to be the one i'm trying to remember
I never played these games but sounds like what I heard about Total Annihilation (1997) or Supreme Commander (2007).
It does sound a lot like them but it's neither
It's not a game, but that sounds remarkably similar to a story from r/hfy called Chrysalis (https://archive.org/details/chrysalis_202010/mode/2up). Aliens ravage Earth, protagonist takes up a mission to ravage them back. Good read.
I can't remember the plot of sins of a solar empire but it was similar game play, good game
I'm starting to think my mind made it up because all of these are close but not quite right
