Line 13:
* [[Death World]]: In addition to planets with hostile environments, there are "Tomb Worlds" that are in a state of nuclear winter.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Depending on your culture and policies, this may or may not be evident in your domain. As even within your territories, it's very much possible to have slave castes and second-class citizens, whether they're of the same species or not.
* [[Faster-Than-Light Travel]]: FTL technology is stated as one of the major catalysts for the game. There are even a number of distinct methods available, from wormholes to FTL-capable engines.

* [[One World Order]]: Subverted. While planets are generally unified under one faction/species, it doesn't necessarily follow that your species is united; it's possible for various nations of the same race to emerge.

* [[Starfish Aliens]]: Some alien types, especially the mollusk-esque ones look suitably out there. Their respective aesthetics likewise look suitably alien and otherworldly.
* [[Vestigial Empire]]: The "fallen empires," computer-controlled civilizations that are large and
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: Nothing's really stopping you from glassing planets from orbit, practicing slavery or (with the right policies) engage in Soviet-style purges.
* [[X Meets Y]]: ''[[Europa Universalis]]'' meets ''[[Galactic Civilisations]]''.
