Sid Meier’s Starships places players in the universe of Civilization: Beyond Earth after the age of the Seeding. Command a fleet on missions to protect planets and their people from pirates, marauders, and other hostile forces, while building a federation and defending its homeworld. The campaign’s wider ambition is to preserve intergalactic peace according to your vision for humanity.
Its strategy spans both tactical encounters and decisions across the galaxy. Missions feature dynamically generated maps, victory conditions, and opponents, while modular ship design lets you tailor an armada to your tactical plan. Exploration and diplomacy bring new planets into the federation’s orbit: earn citizens’ trust, draw on planetary abilities, and build improvements that expand the federation’s resources and capabilities. The mission examples range from protecting colony ships to destroying rogue AI.
Victory can come through confronting the galaxy’s greatest threat, uniting worlds in a federation, or pushing the frontiers of science.
