Stellaris: The Machine Age

A new age of galactic adventure begins. As your scientists discover ever more advanced means to commune with the machine, your society will face new ethical and social dilemmas. Biological species grapple with the effects of rapid augmentation, while the very nature of identity is thrown into question by the rise of synthetic consciousness. Meanwhile, in an otherwise unremarkable corner of the galaxy, a robotic empire has arisen with individualistic personalities. A democratically elected government now presides over the fate of these singular Machines.

It is an age of technological glory, rapid social change, and unbridled ambition... But in the depths of space, a danger unlike any before encountered is about to emerge, a looming threat that will throw the very meaning of life into question.
