Command a space-faring empire in Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, the stand-alone expansion that combines 4X depth with real-time strategy gameplay.

Introduction

The time of Diplomacy is over. The length of the war and differing opinions on what should be done to bring the war to an end has led to a splintering of the groups involved. The controlling powers-that-be have depleted arsenals and seemed to have exhausted all efforts of diplomacy. Trapped in a stalemate, sub-factions have rebelled and broken off the main alignments. Rebellion is upon us.

In Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, you will become the ruler of one of six unique factions and lead your people to victory over your enemies by any means necessary. As you expand your influence to new worlds, you will gain access to vital resources and unique artifacts, construct shipyards to build your fleets, establish trade, and assimilate rival cultures.
