Empires have their relationship features the same as the Civilization Stage influenced by the player’s actions.
The player can meet and communicate with other alien empires, along with unique randomly-assigned philosophy that affects their availability of tool trade or behavior towards the player’s empire. The player can explore the vast galaxy encompassing over 41,560 visitable stars, each that can orbit 8 planets and 3 gas giants maximum. Space Stage abandons the previous stages’ RTS format for space simulation game where the player controls the main component through the rest of the game, the spaceship, and expands their empire by colonizing uninhabited planets.
