Ready or not, it is time for its favored children to take the reins of their existence. While many will falter, at least one must rise and evolve their race to meet its full potential. For the fate of the galaxy, and the many scattered civilizations which call it home, may soon depend on it.Expansion Overview This expansion brings two major new features into the game, Evolutions and Minor Civilizations.
