Two (3 more to come!) Factions Unlocked
The Phalenoid Advance
Embark on a celestial journey with The Phalenoid Advance, a moth-like faction that reveres culture, science, and peace. This diplomatic faction prioritizes peaceful solutions over conflict, using their far-reaching Influence to foster annexations if left unchecked. With their unique Nocturnal Ability, they alternate between "Waking" and "Dreaming" states. "Waking" bolsters Growth and Manufacturing, while "Dreaming" supercharges Research and Influence. Their Hopeful trait elevates planetary Approval for harmonious expansion.
The Luxar Dominion
Welcome the Luxar Dominion, a faction steeped in arrogance and paranoia, yet gifted with cosmic telepathic abilities. With their telepathy, they wield the Pandemonium and Serenity Executive orders. "Pandemonium" spreads turmoil via chosen negative modifiers, while "Serenity" imparts chosen positive modifiers, all driven by their telepathic prowess. The Luxar Dominion's Paranoid trait enhances ships within their borders, granting a formidable increase in Hit Points and Attack power.
