, a late-game weapon capable of destroying entire stars and systems. Highly valued for Temporal Shipyards

Elara’s eyes went wide. “That’s a legend. A myth. It requires sacrificing a star—an entire system’s worth of matter. And the pre-reqs are insane! You need , Level 5 Construction , Level 4 Power Systems …”

Your empire runs on three resource types: (for hulls), Organics (for supplies and population), and Radioactives (for advanced components and weapons). The base Extraction technologies are non-negotiable. Furthermore, researching Robotics and Computers is essential to unlock the Monolith Facility —a game-changing building that produces all three resources simultaneously, supercharging your planetary economy.

The tech tree is and highly interdependent . You research theories (e.g., Physics, Chemistry) → then applied techs (e.g., Energy Stream Weapons) → then specific components (e.g., Meson BLASTER I, II, III). space empires v tech tree

: Many advanced technologies require specific levels in multiple base sciences. For example, unlocking Stellar Manipulation requires Level 2 in Astrophysics .

The Zarlok Dreadnought arrived at Earth to find no fleet. No defense stations. Just a single human ship, the Terran Valor , floating silent and dark.

Use this as both gameplay-like structure and narrative beats. Each tier unlocks capabilities, narrative consequences, and faction-specific branches.

The research points flooded in.

This branch is crucial for expanding your empire's reach. Advances in propulsion technology enable faster travel across the galaxy, access to previously unreachable star systems, and the ability to deploy and maintain a strong presence in distant sectors. From basic improvements to fuel efficiency and maneuverability to advanced technologies like faster-than-light (FTL) travel, the propulsion branch is fundamental to establishing and maintaining a vast interstellar empire.
