Part 23

Explore the diverse planet types in Sins of a Solar Empire II. Learn about Terran, Desert, Volcanic, Ice, Barren, Ferrous, Greenhouse, Oceanic, Asteroid, Dwarf, Dead Asteroid, Pirate Base, and Ship Graveyard planets.

Colonizable Gravity Wells (CGWs)

These are the planets you'll be fighting over, the ones you can actually settle and build up. Think of them as the prime real estate in the galaxy.

Terran Planet

These planets are basically Earth 2.0. Lots of water, plants, and a big population ready for you to, uh, 'manage'. The TEC faction really likes these, getting a +30% population boost with their research. Just be ready, they usually have the most militia guarding them.

Desert Planet

Dry and sandy, these planets don't support as many people as Terran worlds, but they've got a lot more slots for things like shipyards or research stations. The Advent faction also gets a +30% population bonus here. They're the second most defended by militia, after Terran planets.

Volcanic Planet

These are hot, fiery worlds. While they might not be the most hospitable for a large population, they can be valuable for their unique resources or strategic locations. Be careful when expanding here; the harsh environment might require specific technologies or defenses.
