About Stellaris

Stellaris is a 4X grand strategy game developed by Paradox Development Studio and published by Paradox Interactive. In the game, the player controls a race of space explorers. The game begins in the year 2200 and continues from the initial space travel to galactic conquest. The player's job as the leader of their newborn empire is to expand it, forging political, economic, religious, and military structures. The game was met with many positive reviews and is continuously expanded upon adding new features and mechanics.

Digging in the past

Ancient Relics adds the element of archaeology to the usual space conquest mechanics of Stellaris. Thanks to this expansion, the player will be able to encounter extinct worlds, abandoned planets once teeming with life now left in ruins. These worlds can be researched and excavated for lost treasures left there by its former inhabitants. The relics, called Minor Artifacts, are helpful not only in increasing the player empire's knowledge of the past but also in adding various perks and boosts. “Learning from the past to make a better future” will soon become the player's new motto.

Those who came before

Excavate the ruins, locate artifacts, and use them to boost your galactic campaign. While exploring the ruined worlds, the player might come in contact with the signs of its former inhabitants. These civilizations, the Baol and the Zroni hide secrets that the player might want to discover. Exploring the ruins of Grunur and Zrone Prime might yield useful perks, such as the Psionics Research boost and the technology of Terrasculpting. These boosts can aid the player's empire in their quest for galactic conquest.

Reception
