Stellaris

Encounter and interact with countless alien races on your interstellar journeys. Build a galactic empire: let science ships roam the universe, and construction ships surround discovered planets with stations. Find mysterious treasures, discover the wonders of the cosmos, and guide your people by expanding or limiting the possibilities of explorers. Be prepared for anything - stick to your allies and beware of your enemies.

As with all of our grand strategy games, Stellaris brings new features over time. And the free update policy that exists in every actively supported Paradox game will allow you to further strengthen and expand your empire with new technologies and features. What awaits you there, among the stars? Only you will find the answer.

Deep and varied research system

Each game you will start as a civilization that has just discovered the possibility of interstellar travel and is eager to start exploring the galaxy. Send science ships to explore systems and study anomalies, trigger chains of events, find unusual worlds with even more unusual stories, and make discoveries that can change the course of your empire.

Incredibly beautiful space

A comprehensive study of unique planets and celestial bodies makes it possible to enjoy the spectacular spectacle of detailed space.

Limitless species diversity and an expanded diplomacy system

Manual customization and procedural generation will allow you to encounter a limitless variety of species. Choose positive and negative signs, a special ideology, any restrictions, ways of development and everything that you can imagine. Interact with other races with an expanded diplomacy system. Diplomacy is the key to a balanced global strategy. Tailor your strategy to the situation through skillful negotiation.

Wars on a galactic scale

An endless cycle of wars, diplomacy, suspicions and alliances awaits you. Defend or attack with fully customizable war fleets. And remember that adaptation is the key to victory. Learn complex technologies and use them to design and modify ships in the Ship Builder. In addition, there are a lot of possibilities in front of you, and each decision is capable of starting a whole chain of events.

Huge procedurally generated galaxies

Grow and expand your empire with thousands of randomly generated galaxy variations, planet combinations, event chains and space-roaming monsters.

Play your style

Create your own unique empire! For each empire, you can choose characteristics such as the principles and form of government, the class of habitable planets, as well as technologies, the preferred type of engines for FTL travel, and much more. It's up to you whether it becomes a community of killer mushrooms or engineer reptiles. The direction and development of the game will depend on your decisions.
