Achievements
Achievements track long-term empire milestones and award achievement points. They serve as a record of what your empire has accomplished - not a to-do list, but a testament. Build enough, fight enough, explore enough, and the record speaks for itself.
Categories
Achievements are grouped into five categories:
- Colonization - expanding your empire through planets and planet types
- Research - technology progress and era advancement
- Military - combat victories and fleet power
- Exploration - system discovery and fleet missions
- Economy - resource accumulation and building levels

Achievement Chains
Several achievements form chains - completing one unlocks the next in sequence. For example, completing "First Steps" (2 planets) reveals "Small Empire" (3 planets), which in turn reveals "Expanding Empire" (5 planets). Chains guide progression toward larger goals without exposing all tiers at once.
Rewards
Achievement points are cumulative across all earned achievements. Points are displayed on the leaderboard as a measure of overall empire development. There are no direct resource rewards - achievements serve as prestige milestones.
