Overview
Build and Manage Your Colonies
Each star system contains multiple planets with different climates and resources. Through the Star System Management interface, you select individual planets to:
- Develop districts and buildings
- Assign and optimize planetary jobs
- Balance production of food, energy, and minerals
- Specialize colonies to support your growing empire
As your empire expands, planets shift from hands-on management to high-level economic roles.
Expand Through Trade and Research
Local production alone is not enough. To sustain growth, you must establish interstellar trade routes that move resources between star systems.
- Connect colonies through trade networks
- Overcome distance and capacity limitations
- Research technologies that expand reach and efficiency
- Unlock new buildings, districts, and empire-wide bonuses
Research gradually increases your ability to explore and colonize more distant stars, opening new strategic opportunities within the cluster.
Unite the Star Cluster
Your long-term objective is to integrate the star cluster into a stable economic system. Expansion without planning leads to shortages and collapse, while careful specialization and trade enable sustained growth.
Victory is achieved by building a connected, self-sufficient interstellar economy that spans most of the cluster — after which you may continue in sandbox mode.
