The war that began in Sins of a Solar Empire has dragged on for a decade, and unity is its first casualty. Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is the standalone RT4X strategy game that fractures each of the three warring races into Loyalist and Rebel factions, hands them titan-class warships, and turns entire solar systems into your battlefield.
A Galaxy Divided Against Itself
The Trader Emergency Coalition splits between isolationists hardening their defenses and militants convinced that peace only comes once every rival is crushed. The Advent Unity suffers the first schism in its history as some among the faithful sense a corrupting influence steering their crusade, while the desperate Vasari must choose between seizing the resources they need by force and persuading old enemies to flee alongside them. Each of the six resulting factions unlocks its own technologies, ships and play styles, so every campaign begins with a genuinely different empire.
Titans, Capital Ships and Corvettes
Rebellion's headline addition is the titan - a faction-specific super-capital powerful enough to anchor an entire war effort and tip a deadlocked front on its own. Beneath it, every race gains a new capital ship, existing capitals stretch their abilities across four upgrade levels for real specialization, and nimble corvette-class craft dart between the battle lines to harass enemy formations. Fleet composition matters here, and the arsenal has never been deeper.
Real-Time Tactics, 4X Depth
The series' signature blend remains intact: eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate across dozens of gravity wells in seamless real time, zooming from a single frigate's engagement out to the whole star cluster in one motion. Economy, research, culture and diplomacy all pull their weight alongside the guns, and the expanded victory conditions - Military, Diplomatic, Research, Last Flagship Standing, Last Capital Standing and Occupation - mean warmongering is only one road to supremacy.
Built for the Long War
More than sixty minutes of original score, new voice work and a substantial visual overhaul give the conflict its drama, while reworked tutorials welcome new admirals aboard. When the campaign against the AI is won, online and LAN play - competitive or cooperative - and an included level editor keep the war going for as long as you care to fight it.
Pick a side, muster your fleet, and settle a ten-year war on your own terms - the galaxy is waiting for its next ruler.
