Sid Meier's Starships

Sid Meier's Starships is a strategy game in which you command a fleet, travel to distant worlds and complete missions to protect planets and their people from Space Pirates, Marauders and other hostile factions. Set in the universe of Civilization: Beyond Earth after the age of the Seeding, it follows your effort to build a planetary Federation, strengthen your fleet and secure your homeworld while pursuing your vision of humanity and intergalactic peace.

Missions and combat

Each mission presents tactical challenges on a dynamically generated map, with changing victory conditions and foes. You can fight pirates, protect colony ships, destroy rogue AI and take on other missions to help the citizens of the planets you visit.

Build your Federation

You can customize your starships with modular designs to suit your tactical plan. Expand your Federation's influence, earn the trust of people on new planets and use each planet's unique abilities to improve your fleet and Federation. Building improvements on worlds increases your Federation's capabilities and resources, while diplomacy and strategy help keep opponents in check.

Paths to victory

You can pursue victory by defeating the greatest threat to the galaxy, uniting a plurality of worlds in your Federation or advancing the frontiers of science. Your choices have consequences along the way. The game is a standalone experience and also features cross-connectivity with Civilization: Beyond Earth, expanding the depth of both games.
