How to play:
Create your species, ethics, and civics, then choose an origin to define your starting strengths and story hooks.
Survey star systems, explore anomalies, and colonize habitable worlds to expand borders and secure strategic resources.
Research technologies and adopt traditions to unlock new ships, buildings, edicts, and ascension perks that shape your playstyle.
Manage your economy by balancing energy, minerals, alloys, consumer goods, and influence while specializing planets and sectors.
Design ships and command fleets, choose doctrines, and wage wars with objectives, starbase chokepoints, and combined-arms combat.
Engage in diplomacy to form pacts, federations, and espionage operations, or confront endgame crises and build megastructures to secure galactic supremacy.
