Era One

Era One is a space-building game about expanding a Command Center into a modular fortress and shaping it into a home for humanity among the stars. You manage resources and a workforce, build and defend your base, construct ships, and develop a civilization that can grow into a mobile city carrying thousands of inhabitants across the Solar System.

Humanity's struggle

After Earth’s resources run low, humanity spreads to other planets in an era known as The Great Colonization. Mining corporations spark conflicts, space piracy emerges, and a powerful energy source enables the construction of the Navi Mondo: enormous, fortified, self-sustaining cities in space. The Free Federation of Worlds forms, and centuries later people abandon the planets to live aboard the Navi Mondo as resources near exhaustion and genetically engineered biominers mutate into a threat.

The Federation plans to migrate using Hyperspace Leap technology. But the colonizing ships Victrix and X Gemina encounter a gravitational anomaly, causing a breach. Resources dwindle, wars resume and the political system collapses. Against this backdrop, Alya De Shars seeks to steal a power source to launch a secret ship and begin again beyond the Solar System.

Build your fortress

You assemble a base from modular components, with no limit to its shape or size, and choose its layout, structures and appearance. Gathering and allocating raw materials, energy and workforce supports construction, upgrades and the base’s continued survival. You can research technologies for construction, resource extraction and defense, and fortify your base with structures such as turrets and traps, positioning and upgrading them to meet external threats.

Design your ships

You build starships to suit your preferences, choosing their types, sizes and appearance, including hull designs, paint schemes and exterior decorations. Modular components let you configure ships for roles such as exploration, combat and trading, with propulsion, weapons, cargo holds and utility modules among the available options. As you progress, you can research technologies and upgrade systems such as engines, shields, weapons and scanners to improve speed, defense, firepower and exploration capabilities.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Alberto Selvaggi, inspired by Era One’s lore. It accompanies the story.
