Space strategy & empire
Only for iPhone
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Stellar Dominion is a space strategy game where you build an interstellar empire from your first colony to galactic domination.
- Develop your colonies by constructing mines, refineries, laboratories, and shipyards. Optimize your production of ore, crystal, and helium-3 to fuel your expansion.
- Travel across hundreds of solar systems. Send expeditions into the unknown, discover resource-rich debris fields, and colonize new planets.
- Unlock a complete tech tree: propulsion, weaponry, armor, espionage, and more. Each research opens new strategic possibilities.
- Build a diverse fleet: fighters, cruisers, battleships, and recyclers
- Trade resources on the market, manage worker allocation, activate production bonuses, and monitor your energy balance.
- Complete commander missions, unlock achievements, collect galactic journal entries, and level up to access new features. Available in French, English, German, Spanish, and Chinese
Independent project created by a solo developer
AI-assisted development
more Massive performance pass: raids no longer freeze the game, the UI stays smooth even on huge empires.
New unit: Mobile Hydrogen Generators. 50 energy each, raidable. Solar/Fusion plants nerfed; the old +5%/lvl research becomes Hydrogen Plant, capping +50 generators per level.
Fuel overhaul: distance is now cosmetic, no more billion-helium fleet moves. Harmonized costs across transport / deployment / anomaly / World Boss / expeditions. Small Cargo gets its own niche with Impulse Drive 5+.
Anomalies rebalanced: all 4 factions scale to Imperium's power (Pirates were 12x easier), level 999 is now a true boss, fights play out all the way instead of stopping at round 1.
Alliances: invite players by username, private alliances browseable.
Plus dozens of UI polish and bug fixes.
