This is driving me insane - I've been trying to remember the name of a game I played in the early 90's? I think. My memory is extremely vague but I know it wasn't a BIG game like Masters or Orion etc.

From my shocking memory I remember it was a space strategy (I wouldn't say 4x) where you've left earth and colonized the new earth. In the beginning you're spreading time between building up the planet, and learning about the solar system you're in. Then you start to meet the aliens (There's 2 races?) and they pretty much attack you and pummel you to death.

To top it off, I can only vaguely recall that it was one word and started with "R"

Which platform? PC, I assume?

PC definitely - and there was no console versions either

Ah, you'll be talking about Reunion (http://www.oldgames.nu/PC/Reunion/2955/) then, I think.

Ahh, the "X" games. They are good. X3: Reunion fixed all the economy issues of X2: The Threat, not to mention the fantastic graphics upgrade!
