Nebula features

A quick overview of the systems that make the galaxy feel alive, dangerous and worth conquering.

Exploration

Reveal systems, planets and routes while pushing deeper into uncertain territory.

Colonisation

Expand beyond your origin world and build a network of productive colonies.

Fleet command

Move ships between worlds and systems, respond to threats and support strategic expansion.

Research tree

Unlock increasingly powerful capabilities, infrastructure and strategic options.

Alien diplomacy

Encounter races with distinct aggression profiles, behaviours and responses to player actions.

Alliances

Work with other players when cooperation is more useful than trying to be the smartest monkey in the room.

Star map strategy

Think in systems, routes, logistics and vulnerable positions rather than isolated menus.

Events and consequences

The galaxy reacts. Expansion, diplomacy and aggression all create follow-on effects.

Persistent progression

Nebula is built to feel like an ongoing campaign, not a disposable match.
