Solar Nations 2

Solar Nations 2 is a grand strategy game about humanity’s expansion across the Solar System. You build colonies on distant worlds, develop technologies and lead a nation through political conflict and war, choosing whether humanity unites or destroys itself in nuclear fire.

The Solar System

The game features nine planets of Sol, each with different advantages, dangers and strategic possibilities. Mercury offers close access to the Sun; Venus presents a high-risk, high-reward terraforming opportunity; and Earth has a large population and industrial base alongside old rivalries. Mars has valuable resources and lies near the Asteroid Belt, while Jupiter’s moons offer distinct opportunities for colonization and conflict.

Saturn contains rare resources, the Ice Giants offer research opportunities at the edge of civilization, and the Kuiper Belt leads toward the unknown. Beyond Neptune, a ninth world awaits.

Politics and war

Human civilizations differ in their worldviews, ambitions, myths, fears and visions for humanity. As people spread beyond Earth, these rivalries extend across space. You navigate political intrigue in an interplanetary society and build major projects, or command large space fleets and customize each vessel for a chosen role.

Armies, aircraft, ships, spacecraft and strategic weapons each have distinct roles in warfare. The game gives you control over everything within your nation’s borders without requiring AI assistance. Its mechanics are designed to be understandable while offering strategic depth and varied choices, with no single best solution.

Technologies

Technologies include robotics, genetic engineering, space colonization, interplanetary warfare, fusion and antimatter power, superintelligent AI, superhumanity, terraforming and climate change, and faster-than-light travel.

Create scenarios

The built-in scenario editor lets you make alternate histories and future scenarios, and customize nations, borders, flags, populations and political arrangements. You can share scenarios through Steam Workshop, download community creations and reshape the Solar System alone or with friends.
