Stellaris Ultimate

Stellaris is a strategy game about exploring a procedurally generated galaxy and building an empire among the stars. You begin as a civilization that has just discovered interstellar travel, then send science ships to survey star systems, investigate anomalies and uncover quests, strange worlds and stories. Discoveries can change how your empire’s story unfolds.

Explore the galaxy

Each star system holds the possibility of a new mystery or alien civilization. The galaxy contains thousands of randomly generated planet types, galaxies, quests and monsters lurking in space. Planets and celestial bodies have distinct characteristics, and exploration can uncover buried treasures and galactic wonders.

Shape your empire

You decide the direction of your society and how it develops, choosing traits, ideologies, limitations and evolutions for your civilization. Customize its characters, ethics, technology, preferred form of space travel, habitat and philosophies. Your choices shape the game, from your first warp jump to the prospect of galactic domination.

Diplomacy and warfare

Interact with other species through diplomacy, negotiation and alliances; suspicions and wars also shape the galaxy. You can defend or attack with customizable fleets, adapting your strategy to the situation. The ship designer lets you choose technologies and configure your ships to meet the challenges ahead.
