Galactic Empire

Galactic Empire is a turn-based strategy game about building an empire and competing for control among the stars. You expand your infrastructure, research technologies, build and upgrade a fleet, manage diplomacy and trade, defend your worlds and conquer new systems. Your decisions shape how your empire develops.

Choose your starting path

At the start, you choose a planet type and a character class. Each starting planet has its own traits, including resource richness, food abundance, temperature, buildable space, population size and, sometimes, unique structures. Your starting world influences your strategy.

Choose from three classes, each with distinct bonuses and effects on your playstyle:

• Architect: build faster and at lower cost.
• Scientist: improve research and technological development.
• General: gain greater military power and fleet efficiency.

You can unlock additional specializations later in the game. You also choose one or more victory conditions: technological supremacy, the highest reputation among factions, conquering all planets or reaching a target score.

Develop your empire

Build structures, conduct research and construct fleets. New technologies and blueprints expand your strategic options and change how you play. Your population is divided into four social classes—unemployed, workers, engineers and administrators—and assigning them wisely supports growth, production and stability.

Ships have upgrade slots for components, which let you customize your fleet with units specialized for the economy, defense or full-scale warfare.

Explore the galaxy

Explore a massive procedural universe containing multiple galaxies and star systems, along with planets, black holes, nebulae, cantinas, asteroid fields and pirate hideouts. Send probes and scouts to investigate locations, then decide how to use what you discover.

Diplomacy and warfare

Your actions affect your reputation with other factions. Some may become allies and trade partners, while others may declare war and try to destroy your empire. Build defensive systems and manage them during enemy attacks, then fight turn-based battles for control of the galaxy.
