To achieve a Science Victory, you must be the first to research the final technology in the Science & Exploration tree, typically a super-project like the 'Endless Research Project'. By the late game, your empire should have several high-science output systems. Focus all available research points on this final technology. Build science-boosting improvements in all your systems, assign science-focused heroes to your highest science-producing systems, and engage in research agreements with allies. If possible, use Dust to rush research projects. Protect your key science systems from enemy attacks, as losing them can severely delay your victory. Monitor your rivals' science progress closely; if another faction is close to a Science Victory, you may need to declare war to slow them down or switch to a different victory condition.
