Line 9:
* [[All Planets Are Earthlike]]: Averted, as many planets are either not suitably comfortable to your species by default (barring measures like terraforming) or utterly uninhabitable.
* [[Ancient Astronauts]]: Potentially, ''you.'' As it's possible to come across planets with varying degrees of complex if not sentient life and "uplift" them, ultimately becoming "vassals" of sorts.
* [[Civil Warcraft]]: The larger your territories become, the harder it
* [[Crystal Spires and Togas]]: Depending on the species, cultural traits and alignment, you could come across as this.
* [[Design-It-Yourself Equipment]]: Not only are your ships heavily customizable, but ''everything'' about your species/civilization can be customized to a significant degree.
* [[Death World]]: In addition to planets with hostile environments, there are "Tomb Worlds" that are in a state of nuclear winter.
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* [[One Nation Under Copyright]]: It's possible for your civilization to be run by a powerful [[Mega Corp]].
* [[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.
* [[The Rival]]: Similarly to ''[[Europa Universalis]]'' games, it's possible to make other civilizations your rivals.
* [[Robot War]]: Sentient machines, should you develop a highly advanced AI "species" may rise up against their masters and run their own civilization. {{spoiler|Should you develop advanced, sentient AI, they can also turn against ''you'' in the end-game if you're not careful.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: The game includes a number of references and nods to various works.
Line 29 ⟶ 31:
** At least one of the star systems, Mar-Adetta is a direct nod to ''[[Legend of Galactic Heroes]].''
** The {{spoiler|Unbidden}} are basically a cross between Chaos and the C'Tan from ''[[Warhammer 40,000]].'' {{spoiler|As they come from another dimension through a warp rift not unlike the Eye of Terror.}}
* [[Starfish Aliens]]: Some alien types, especially the mollusk-esque ones look suitably out there. Their respective aesthetics likewise look suitably alien and otherworldly. There are also a number of bizarre NPC alien creatures orbiting certain stars, including those seemingly made entirely out of crystals.
* [[Vestigial Empire]]: The "fallen empires," computer-controlled civilizations that are large and powerful, but also old, stagnant and isolationist. Tick them off one way or another, however, and they won't hesitate to prove why they're not quite "fallen" just yet. They can also serve as a dangerous end-game adversary should they decide to regain their "rightful place" in the universe.
* [[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.
