❤ Explore and Control Thousands of Star Systems

Players can explore and control hundreds or even thousands of star systems across multiple galaxies. The game's scope is truly massive, limited only by the player's hardware and ambitions. This allows for grand-scale empire building and exploration on an epic interstellar scale.

❤ Interconnect Planets into an Economic Powerbase

The game's planetary management system focuses on building an interconnected web of resource production and trade between colonies. Players must carefully manage the flow of dozens of unique resources between their planets to efficiently develop their economic powerbase. Losing a key resource planet can have cascading effects that destabilize the entire system.

❤ Customize Ships Down to the Last Module

One of the standout features is the deep and flexible ship design system. Players can meticulously customize every aspect of their vessels, from armor and weapons to engines and internal systems, using a modular, tile-based approach. Ship size can also scale infinitely, with the potential to construct gargantuan capital ships that dwarf entire star systems.

❤ Wield Political Influence Through a Diplomacy Card Game

The game's diplomacy system departs from traditional treaty-based mechanics.

This adds an extra layer of depth and dynamism to interacting with both AI and human opponents.
