Years ago I played on my Windows machine a trial of a game I think was named Gravity Wells.

The idea was that you start out and you have to go around the solar system colonising planets.
You take a planet by landing on it and staying there until it was captured. You could then build defences and a space port and such and trade with other planets you owned.

Does anyone remember this?
A Link maybe?
Google says nothing.

Pic attached, it was Vector graphic and I remember playing as an orange ship.
