Solar Nations

Solar Nations is a strategy game about leading humanity’s planet-states into an interstellar empire after the spread of the hyperdrive. You direct its wars, influence and strategy across a history of humanity that you help shape, with your victories and defeats becoming inspiration for future empires.

The galaxy and its wars

Each region represents thousands of worlds, and the galaxy is too vast for even a thousand ships to cover. You command millions of ships across hand-crafted regions, each of which contributes to humanity’s wider story.

Wars unfold across enormous stretches of space, with battles fought at light-hours distance. They can cost thousands of ships and millions of lives, and winning requires extensive management. Endurance, technology and wit matter alongside numbers, while the AI opponents pursue their own ambitions with the same tools you have. The AI avoids cheating and what the game describes as cowardly or annoying tactics.

Economic cycles

Rampant industrialization creates regular economic cycles. Recessions can delay plans for galactic domination, but they can also create opportunities to take on more powerful rivals.

Scenarios and history

Multiple scenarios take place centuries apart and together cover a thousand years of humanity’s struggles. Each has distinct nations and technologies, and is designed to offer interesting situations and replay value. You can also start with the earliest scenario and play through a millennium in one game.

Create scenarios

The scenario editor lets you customize nearly every aspect of the galaxy and create scenarios to share with friends in multiplayer or to play at greater difficulty. You can also import flags and customize them.
