The conflict between TEC, ADVENT, and Vasari has caused divisions within each civilization, and the galaxy is less stable than ever. With resources running low and time running out, every advantage must be taken…..
For the first time ever, a whole new dimension of strategy has been added to the game with Minor Factions. Compete with your enemies to establish control over new powers that have arisen outside the borders of the great powers. Crush them if you wish, but it may be wiser to allow your diplomatic envoys to persuade them to join your cause – their unique traits can mean the difference between victory and defeat.
