Sins of a Solar Empire®: Rebellion

Set amid a war splintering three spacefaring races, Rebellion puts you in command of an interstellar empire. For each race, you can choose a Loyalist or Rebel faction, with distinct technologies, ships, and approaches to conflict. Expand across planets and star systems, develop your economy, research technologies, and use diplomacy as rivals and allies compete for influence. Build fleets to defend your holdings or attack enemy worlds, with battles unfolding in real time. Research and ship choices shape your empire’s development, while capital ships gain levels and Titans bring powerful abilities to fleet battles. Matches offer several routes to victory, including military, diplomatic, research, and occupation goals.

Build an interstellar empire, research new technologies, and command growing fleets in real-time wars across star systems.
