New vassalization mechanics allow you to define the roles of your subjugated systems and subjects. Create new, Specialist Empires to grow into economic superpowers, military specialists, and technological creators. Negotiate with them. Demand from them. Control your vast empire with more control than ever before. - Five New Origins to Lord Over:

- Slingshot to the Stars – The ruined remains of a Quantum Catapult have been discovered near your homeworld – what secrets might it unlock if your people are clever enough to bring it back online?
- Subterranean – Your species adapted to life underground, excelling in mining and archaeology. Now it’s time to see what awaits you far, far above the surface!
- Teachers of the Shroud – Developing in contact with the curious Psions known as the Shroudwalkers, your species, your empire has learned a thing or two about expanding their minds. Perhaps you can use this in your conquest of the galaxy.
